Update Management

I manage a group of servers, and keep them updated with 
the help of RHN.  Occasionally, I download the newest 
updates and maintain my own repository of rpms for the 
up2date utility to use.

I just pulled the most recent updates for XFree86, and 
found a new XFree86-4.1.0-25.i386.rpm (18.241M, June 14 02).
A few weeks ago, I had pulled XFree86-4.1.0-25.i386.rpm 
(19.681M, April 26 02).  Obviously, these 2 rpms are 
very different, yet they are named identically.
Then I checked the .ia64 and .src rpms and saw a similar
situation.  Isn't there supposed to be a version number 
change whenever the package is updated?  

What's going on here ????
