Even without reaching for libraries outside clojure.core, there's

(update-in m [:key-of-interest] #(if (condition? %) (transformation %) %))

and the ability to convert that into a function, e.g.

(defn conditional-update-in [m condition? transformation k]
  (update-in m [k] #(if (condition? %) (transformation %) %)))

and then, if you have many keys that should undergo the same transformation
under the same condition,

(reduce (partial conditional-update-in m condition? transformation)
[keys...]), and its encapsulation,

(defn conditional-update-multi [m condition? transformation ks]
  (reduce (partial conditional-update-in m condition? transformation) ks))
