This is not good, because after PR there is DISTRO_PR, so for:
non-native PR = "r1"
DISTRO_PR="4"

now you add native PR += ".0" and from 
PKGR    ?= "${PR}${DISTRO_PR}"

PKGR r1.4 you get r1.0.4 which is lower, so at least you had to increase
PR in non-native to introduce PR += in non-native.

changing PR in non-native seems like safe solution to me (unneeded
rebuild/upgrade because of native recipe changes doesn't cost that much IMHO).
