Answering only the unimportant part for lack of insight on the other one...

Yes, that is normal.  Otherwise any administrator with "extract keytab"
permissions could ~silently fetch the currently in-use keys for a service
and start decrypting or forging traffic; requiring a kvno increment (and
new random key) makes the operation more noticeable and prevents the
exfiltration of the live, in-use, key material.
