I haven't seen the sync cronjob, but I assume it's something like rsync over ssh, so wouldn't just prepending something like this work?
ssh atalia test -f /srv/apt/SYNC && rsync ...
I'd then remove the SYNC file during release time.
Unfortunately not (entirely). It pulls from atalia and a number of other boxes, performs a little magic, and then asynchronously pushes everything to the frontends.
