In general, Patrick is right.  However, if you are desperate, you can
go to the link below and get the src.rpm, and build it on the obsolete
systems.  You might have to do some fiddling with requirements, and
there could be dependencies you will also have to install, but it will
give you a package for your earlier fedora distribution.

You are becoming a pseudo packager, and it can be a lot of work with a
significant learning curve if you haven't built packages from src.rpms
before. Upgrading is probably the better answer if at all possible.
