If I understand you correctly, you have conversation A and conversation B. In conversation A you have some Seam component foo, and in conversation B you have some instantiated some component bar. bar has an observer method that listens for fooEvent. You call a method on foo, which raises fooEvent. The observer method on bar will be called, but it won't be *the same instance* of bar that you have conversation B, but rather a new instance. You can't observe an event raised in one conversation in another. If the observer was in the session scope or application scope this would work.
