I thought things never get backported for Fedora kernels, but the
kernels get rebased to what is current stable when a need to do an
update arises (possible a security flaw or something). I do not know
whether it is a documented policy though.

On the other side the version number is no reason to do an update. And
you mentioned no fixes or enhancements that do you consider important
other that the version number. If there are some, I think filing a
report in Bugzilla won't hurt.
