A should *not* be pushed again. If it has a changeId it will be
identified. If the sha doesn't match the sha of A in gerrit a new
version of the patch will be created. If the sha matches "nothing" will
happen.

In reality this most likely depends on how you got A in there. It will
only work this way if it is really still the commit that you pushed or
you got there by 'checkout'. If you merge, cherry-pick or apply the
patch (of A) manually chances are high you add a new version of the
patch on the review queue.
