The change seems small enough and should not impact the relative order of versions, but it will change the visible version of the rpm packages on stable branches. Though it should be fine, I suppose. Note: It should be fine, as there shouldn't be any dependencies, but I'd suggest to double check that everything works as expected on 24.03 before backporting, as OVS 3.3 doesn't have the corresponding change.
