PyPI does not allow file uploads to be changed [0] but while that means this particular scenario is not an issue for PyPI/pip I'm not completely confident it's impossible to come up with a problematic scenario. Perhaps if a broken wheel was later published for an existing release with a working source distribution. In practice this is not something I've run into though.
