Comment (by daleharrison):

 Thanks @peterwilsoncc for the recommendations.

 I didn't have any luck with `pre_schedule_event`, but for my purposes,
 hooking into `schedule_event` and returning `false` for the event hook
 `wp_scheduled_delete`, alongside my existing `wp_unschedule_event` code
 has solved the problem.

 This approach both removes the existing scheduled event and prevents it
 from being scheduled again.
