I'm not sure what the difference is, behaviour-wise, and I'm also not
sure if cron doesn't choke on this (cron is known for problems resulting
from jumps in the current timestamp), but you can simply try to send
SIGSTOP/SIGCONT from an administrative account to the cron process, like
this:

  kill -STOP $(cat /var/run/cron.pid)
  kill -CONT $(cat /var/run/cron.pid)
