An approach that could be taken here is to bake the repo config (and install packages from that repo) for the UCA version that’s the earliest version we support for that OS. For example – the earliest version that supports Xenial is Newton, so pre-configure and install packages into the image from UCA Xenial/Newton. Then in any jobs which care about which version of UCA is used the repo config can be changed and the packages updated. This potentially saves a little gate time.
