mod_ssl 2.0.54-10 has an epoch of 1, hence the 1:.  It is entirely
possible that mod_ssl 2.1.6-1 has no explicit epoch, and thus is 0:.
The fun w/ epochs is that epoch always wins version checking.  1:2.4 is
always going to be higher than even say 0:9.3.  This is why yum things
that mod_ssl needs to be upgraded.  Check your newer mod_ssl and see if
it has an epoch set.
