Yes, it actually encourages that, e.g.:

   The value is intended to be current at the time of transmission.
   Servers that provide resources with strict tolerances on the value of
   Max-Age SHOULD update the value before each retransmission.[…]

https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7252#section-5.10.5

(The interesting part here is eventual consistency — you can’t be sure that the acknowledgement you get is actually for the most recent retransmission.)
