No hook, but you can advice `org-priority' using :after advice.

(while (org-up-heading-safe))

Try to play with this using M-: with point at different headings.

(org-priority 1), for example.

That's because `org-entry-put' converts the argument into number,
assuming a single-character string like "A". This is probably a bug.
