Well, our packages use 1.X for REL (releases) and 1.X.Y for UPD (updates). Inbetween releases we use date stamped relese numbers, so thats no good either. If you want to avoid package file name collisions (which will be even more of a problem when the front ends appear), then you will have to be creative. You could add yet another file suffix, for example. I'll let you decide how elegant that is, but it is a possible solution. For example, tar-1.13.25-20020828.pixar.src.rpm or tar-pixar-1.13.25-20020828.src.rpm maybe.
