No distribution really does dependencies well. Let's say some third
party developer targets FC3 and sets his dependencies to the version
numbers in FC3. Some user somewhere running FC2 wants to install it
and there are major dependency version clashes. Does that mean the
package *won't* work on FC2? Maybe, maybe not. The package may not
actually use features new to the latest version.
