If you look at the changelog for httpd (rpm -q --changelog httpd), you can see which CVEs are addressed by the backported patches to 2.2.3. Often the scanning tool simply looks at the apache headers and reports that Apache httpd is out of date, so you'll have to show this information to any auditor who isn't familiar with RHEL.
