I'd argue that these aren't "improvements" per se, but are changes from one preferred configuration to another. You'll violate the principal of "least surprise" if you released this as an update to the existing rpm.

If you are going to do this, I'd suggest the changes should be in additional subpackages - produce qpsmtpd, qpsmtpd-config-apache and qpsmtpd-config-forkserver packages during the build, and allow the admin to decide which installation policy will be installed.
