Yes, and No at the same time. These are repackaged versions of the ZLib package. The version of ZLib for FC1 you have is correct... although, I believe I've only seen one security fix in the current one.

Because the released packages for FC1 where based on the zlib-1.2.0 software release from ZLib or an equivalent snapshot. Not sure exactly which. Since that release only patches have been added to the RPM, which is correctly done.. Major version bumps are rarely done and in some cases frowned upon. Because as you pointed out it causes confusion. That said.....
