If you have, for example, a CMYK image that has the incorrect ink coverage (like 400% cmyk ink in one area), and you place that in InDesign, then InDesign will simply pass that CMYK value through into the PDF. That is what the “Convert to Destination (Preserve Numbers)” feature does. If you need to cross-render to a different cmyk (so that all your cmyk images get converted) it is trickier but possible.

Have you tried the Ink Limit feature in InDesign’s Separations Preview panel?
