The standard recommends settng EPOCH by default to the date of the last source file modification. I'm not sure if that is desirable, should be optional, or just ignored.
If you stick to that recommendation then someone has to go to great lengths to have the EPOCH going backwards and separate builds from the same source will have the same EPOCH. The latter consideration becomes important if you use buildbots working away concurrently, which are nowadays what will provide the packages for almost any GNU/Linux distribution. So I think it's a quite sensible recommendation that should be followed unless you have a spcific reason not to.
