I'd be for blocking on a broken netinst (like your example), but if the repos are the same used for image creation this shouldn't really be an issue, right?

Not entirely, no, because the netinst can do much more than any offline install image, let alone the release-blocking ones. The release-blocking images cover the environment groups for Workstation, Server, Cloud, and the KDE desktop, pretty much. netinst can install any environment group listed in comps, with any of its optional package groups.
In practice I suspect we'd only be likely to block on the netinst not being able to install one of the env groups that corresponds to a release blocking image, and in practice that would be unlikely to happen without breaking that image, yeah (though there's probably some corner case or other, e.g. where there's a bug in a package that's part of the Workstation env group but is stripped from the live image for space reasons, or whatever).
