Another point of view would be the way many people worked 
before an efficient profile management emerged: the normal 
process was then to convert any picture in CMYK before 
importing it in any DTP software.
In this very process it was logical to avoid JPG format as 
it destroys the photographs a little more at every file 
rewriting.

Now that pictures can remain in RGB in the DTP software 
before generating the final printing PDF this recommendation 
is not usefull anymore as long as you don't need to modify 
the JPG file in any way. :)
