A couple of years ago, yes.

Correct.
This is part of the normal transition along the standards track.
RFC 2570ff were released as "Draft Standards" (replacing the
previous "Proposed Standards" RFC 2271ff)

Sufficient experience has now been gained with SNMPv3 that it
has been promoted to "Full Standard", and re-issued as a new
set of documents (RFC 3410ff)

> Does the new rfcs have significant changes

No - otherwise they would not have advanced from Draft to Full
Standard.   If there had been any significant changes, the
new versions would have been re-issued as Draft Standards again.

This is all part of the IETF quality control procedures.
The new RFCs don't mean a new version of the protocol.

(There are a number of minor clarifications, but nothing
 significant - see the Revision History clauses in the
 MODULE-IDENTITY definitions, and the Change Log section
 in RFCs 3414 and 3415).

Either of them.

No.
