No, this will not happen at the Sitka level.  We have two types of URIs.  URIs that are identical across all branches because they license them as a group, and URIs that are unique because libraries license them separately.

In the case of unique URIs each library would have its own 856.  In the case of identical URIs there will not be a case where one library has an 856 that another library will need access to.
