The feed shouldn't show an update just because the comment option in the story page is changed from read/write to read only. The feed should only be updated, or only show an updated date, when the actual text is updated, not the story record.

There are only two timestamps to identify the status of a node in the node table: created and changed. It so happens that you did change the node, just not the content part. If I broke from Drupal's definition of "change" to write some sort of nodeapi change un-doer, then I'd have someone file a bug about how their atom feed didn't update when they turned on comments or how atom is breaking update timestamps.
