Doesn't always work that way though.  For example, a new upstream
version of Foo is released.  The maintainer is able to get it built and
released for FC5 Updates.  However FC6 (rawhide/development) has gcc
issues or some other issues preventing packages from making it out, so
the rawhide one remains an older version.  This can VERY easily happen.
As we prepare for a release though, we usually make sure upgrades can
happen from the latest (updated) release to the test or final release
and resolve any broken deps / newer package issues at that point.
