Currently I have a new server being set up with CentOS 4.4 (RedHat
Enterprise Linux 4.4) and the Samba binaries that come with it which are
version 3.010149.

I am something of a Linux newbie so I wanted to know if I should upgrade
to 3.0.24 and, if I should, why doesn't CentOS upgrade their binaries to
the latest Samba?

Thanks in advance.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it. The version that CentOS provides works and is configured for their system. Moreover, you can get security patches for it.

If you have a compelling need for a feature that isn't present in your current version, you may want to consider upgrading. Otherwise, stick with the version distributed with CentOS.
