Yes. The catalog backups are always full backups, so they just need to 
be in both pools. The tricky part is that the catalog backup be the last 
job on a drive when that drive is unmounted. But that can be 
accomplished with job priorities to force all other jobs to run before 
the catalog backup. Basically, you don't want any backups on the drive 
that are newer than the catalog backup.
