Far too much effort for your average spammer.  Why not just relay through
one of the many open servers?  That's a few more common cause of IP
addresses shifting; the real source IP changes, too, depending on whether
the spammer got ToSed from their ISP.

Setting up an actual ISP is decidedly non-trivial, though, since IP address
allocations are getting harder to come by.  The connectivity would also be
rather expensive.
