Distro kernels are based on some kernel version with extra patches on top, in RedHat world this "extra" is a lot. For them your driver version say nothing. For users who run vanilla kernel, those versions are not relevant too, because running such kernels requires knowledge and understanding. You definitely should stop this enterprise cargo cult of "releasing software" by updating versions in non-controlled by you distribution chain. Thanks
