While it may be that some servers will allow that (folowing the "Robustness Principle"), the client should not do that.
Note that even in the case that the server don't mind the change in Origin-Host, it is most likely because it ignores it, and will not update the value - either way, this is server specific implementation and not part of the spec.
If the client just reconnected to the server, than the Diameter session should just continue, using the original parameters (including Origin-Host).
If the client went down, and a different client took over, than the client is either expected to start a new session (the common case where the client is stateless) whith a new Origin-Host, or to continue the same session (if the client is stateful) with the old Origin-Host.

For example, if there was a connectivity issue with the client after the AAR was sent, that was resolved (client reconnected wit the same Diameter identity), and then the server want to send the RAR, it should be allowed to send it over the new connection to the same client (with the correct Destination-Host).

In such a case the server may use "realm routing" and send the RAR on any Diameter connection that may reach the desired realm. However, even in this case, the Destination-Host of the RAR must be set to the correct Destination-Host, and it is up to the Diameter agent(s) to route the request to the correct client.
