J, Thanks for the direction with the markers it managed to provide a solution.
Wish there was less "trickier" way to handle this in the XSL-FO standards :-) like being able to control the page sequence with the <fo:page-number /> tag. But the problem has been address for now, and thank you very much for the help.

Get a rough estimate for the middle of the data pages, place a marker there, like <fo:marker marker-class="logical-page-no">3</fo:marker> and reference the marker in the footer instead of using fo:page-number.
