Yeah, if user -> org tenancy is stored in the same database without any similar defence in depth then a fresh API key after updating org would work around this.
Would be a interesting topic for them to cover.
I think the same HMAC(pepper, user, org) as a validation column would work.
Better yet, encryption with AAD on any tenancy data if you have a TPM available.
