Depends on where you downloaded from. Even Fedora I think tries to keep the version intact by just bumping up the release number. Newer versions would be in Rawhide. This is good practice - there might be other packages which goes "Requires: bind = 9.2.5". The best way to check is to download the SRPM and see what's in there.
