I'm not sure, but I think this might be possible by having two different watch files.

One for stable releases (in unstable/testing), and one for experimental tarballs (in experimental).

Look e.g. to boinc
https://qa.debian.org/developer.php?login=pkg-boinc-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org

seems that having two packages, in unstable and experimental makes duck run twice, and report twice.

I guess having them different will work and show both versions.
(it is up to you to maintain two different packages in two different target series)

cheers,
