I guess what you have is a question for the Check Point Development team. It has always been recommended to keep your SmartCenter in the same or a higher version than the gateways it is managing. Which also means, if you are going to upgrade (no matter if it's a hofix or a higher major version), start by working on your SmartCenter.
I think maybe it all has to do with the specific patches included in the hotfix you are applying, maybe if none of those has anything to do with the SCS vs Gateway interaction, it might not matter to have the patch applied to the gateways before the SMS, but it would require very deep knowledge of such patch to know that.
