Doing this during rawhide can be a problem because of things being updated
in F10 first or dependencies being broken.
This gets amplified when python is updated since virtually everything
depends on python and it is easy to have all of your updates blocked if
something that needs python can't be updated for some reason.

Another approach you might take is downgrading the package giving you
problems. The --oldpackage option for rpm will let you downgrade a
package using an rpm.
