Should I be safe if I make this change?
First of all, you may or may not want to fly Level, especially in Economy.
Second, if you are changing dates because of an Iberia schedule change or something, then you should be fine.
If the agent needs to cancel and rebook, you are at risk. Because an award cancellation involves a lag of a few days between cancellation and getting your Avios back, I'd be surprised if the agent can do it seamlessly. He/she would probably use your existing Avios for the new booking and let the cancelled Avios return in due course - but those returning Avios could easily be taken away at any time.
