No, not really -- there's no race condition possible.

A nameserver must only send NOTIFY to other interested servers _after_
it has updated its local copy of the zone.

Any new queries received after the zone has been updated will therefore
be answered from the up-to-date records, just as you would expect.

A caching server such as Unbound receiving a NOTIFY for a zone need only
flush all records matching that zone and then continue on as normal.
