No problem.

This is not a critical issue, so I think it's fine to leave this to the 
next time you need to update the package for other reasons.

Having multiple instances of a package with the same version-release is 
generally considered "a bad thing". :)  (So there's some logic in place 
which is supposed to prevent that from happening).

So, if you really want to push this out right now, you would need to do 
that for the upload to be accepted.
