This sounds a bit more complicated than it needs to be ...
I would much rather explore not having to push empty commits *at all*,
and have koji auto-increment the build number if it would cause an NVR
conflict ... (yes, this should be possible with minor changes to the
%dist macro and some small additions to koji).
