As long as the FIA doesn't make it like a confusing drama like last year's British Grand Prix. Changing regulation after P3 or Qualifying session on Saturday. Then revert the decision back on Sunday morning.

I think imposing a rule change mid-season would look like favortism to the team who 'violated' the rule. In the current 'violation', RBR is being accused (and found guilty of?) of throttle mapping in such a way that could act as traction control. Pedal-to-power ratio as i'm going to call it (PPR).
Now say FIA changes the rule to give a +/-10% PPR, then RBR currently being ~ -20% would just change the mapping to be within that +/-10%, still having an advantage. HOWEVER...if the rule did get changed, then OTHER teams have the same leeway I suppose.
IMO, see EBD last year. They were talking about changing the rule midseason but decided to let it go through until the offseason, at which time it was changed.
