I typically 'warmup' my indicators in the OnSecuritiesChanged function when using universes by making a history call. Is there a way of doing this with fine fundamental data? Suppose I want to compare last quarters FCFYield to the current FCFYield? I can add the FCFYield to a Queue or RollingWindow as they come in, but I can't see a way of initializing the Queue/RollingWindow when new AddedSecurities become available without making a History call that retrieves fine fundamental data.

Unfortunately historical data requests can not provide fundamental data, they only provide historical prices. Like what you said above, the FCFYield data can be saved in a rolling window day by data, and in live trading you'll have to wait until the rolling window is ready.
