Hello Konstantin, you can get newer versions from http://kde-redhat.sourceforge.net/ , basically they rebuild from the latest Fedora - last I mirrored they were at 4.10. But it's a small project and releases are sparse, which is not good for security in the long term.
For our systems we are looking into rebuilding on SL(C)6 the KDE-4.10 that will be in TUV 7, so as to have a reliable source for long-term support. For now we're starting with rebuilding the KDE 4.10 from FC19. Feel free to mail me off-list if you could be interested to share this project.
