What you are describing is higher layer functionality best suited for
implementation outside the GNU Radio flowgraph.

The digital packet handling framework either accepts a payload of data
for transmission, or accumulate received payloads into a message queue
that you can query.

The easiest way to do what you want is to leave the flowgraph running
at all times, and create your own thread in Python to query to receive
message queue, assemble your ACK payload, and drop it into the
transmit side.
