Lucid is using kernel 2.6.32.x series. So the updates are always going to be based on some version from this series. Also the way it works at upstream (kernel development) important bug fixes are backported to all the stable releases from time to time. And currently all the releases from 2.6.30.x to 2.6.33.x are being maintained as stable releases.
