If bags are checked thru, there should be no issues but often dragons will try to point you to the Schengen Lounge. Just present both PVG-HEL and HEL-FRA bp's. If you collect and recheck, if you have an EU passport, going thru immigration is easy with the automated gates but if you go to an officer you'll be denied without a departing non-Schengen bp.
