Absolutely. The only path into RHEL minor releases that isn't through Stream
is for CVEs and other embargoed changes. And those will go back into Stream
as soon as they can.

It might depend on the situation, but I would expect the fix to land
quickly in Stream.

Hmmm. I'm not sure I understand you. There won't be a dump of 8.5 packages
into Stream at some point. They will be updated there as ready.
