each RKE kubernetes release has a set of system images that it uses. If it is necessary to update an image in that set, without changing the actual Kubernetes version, the trailing digit is bumped to indicate a new release.
There are no backports or other changes compared to upstream. It’s just the way RKE represents the data for a release.

@creamy-pencil-82913 thank you. So there would be no issue upgrading from
v1.19.6-rancher1-1
to
v1.20.15-rancher2-2
to
v1.21.14-rancher1-1
?

you should generally speaking upgrade to the latest patch release of the current minor, and then to the latest patch release of the next minor, and so on until you’re up to date.
I can’t say there are “no issues” because there are changes to component versions and kubernetes APIs between releases. You’d need to know your environment to know how an upgrade to a new minor would affect you.
