That'll lock it, but it'll still show as in need of update on the webui won't

I've wanted something similar.  I've a bunch of machines that have the latest
adobe reader installed.  A subset of those don't have the latest version, they
have a deliberately held back version so that it works correctly with the
FileOpen plugin.  Short of creating a new AdobeReader8 package, I don't think
there's a brilliant way of dealing with it.
