Advertisement/Package behavior?

Here's my problem:
I'm trying to bring all workstations up to the most recent Java 7 update and remove everything else. I have 2 query-based collections set up. One checks for Java 6, the other for Java 7. All workstations with Java 7 already had the latest update advertised to them.
Since an advertisement can only be tied to a single collection, i'll have to create a new advertisement to push out Java 7 to workstations with Java 6. I've noticed there are some PCs that show up in both queries. Will the advertisement re-run the program or will SCCM realize that the program was already run with a different advertisement and not attempt to install again?

If the package and program are the same, it won't... unless part of your advertisement (the new one) is "rerun always", or has a recurring schedule.
oh, and you CAN have an advertisement go to multiple collections. on the collection which is the current target, right-click and "link to" the other collection--that essentially makes a pointer to the other collection--in the console it looks like a subcollection (but it's not a copy or a new collection, it's just a pointer).
and in the advertisement you check the box about "include subcollections".
Standardize. Simplify. Automate.
