Newer stable releases of Evoluton tend to utilize newer features of the GNOME developer platform as they become available. Upgrading from older stable versions will likely require you to also upgrade GNOME's core libraries such as GTK+ and GLib. A decent packaging system should be able to handle the transition smoothly. I wouldn't advise trying to do it manually. Myself being a Red Hat employee, I can't really speak to the rest of the SLED-specific comments.
