No that is not implied. What SUSE (and other vendors) do is patch the kernel that was released with that box version, rather than risk breaking things by upping the kernel version without adequate testing. So the bug was in the 9.0's 2.4.21 kernel, SUSE patched it when the alarm went out, and you got this update when you ran the YaST Online Update tool.
