There is quite a bit of stuff up there, but there is a way of knowing if a conjunction between 2 orbiting bodies will occur. Nominally, NORAD creates 2 line element data sets that commercial space users can use for this. I believe these sets are good for 7 days. Can't remember off the top. But this will allow you to reposition your asset days in advance if you detect a conjunction with something in your constellation.
And yes, Keplerian physics is driving this here.
