Indeed and I wanted to point this out as well, but you were faster ;-)

I'd also vote for this as it seems (to me, at least) to be the least
invasive.

Hey, you were faster here too... For the small security updates (like
the 42.0.2 and 42.0.3 from your example) there is probably no point to
have multiple kernel-doc packages. It might be worth doing it for
versions with real differences where maybe new drivers or whole
subsystems (f.e. InfiniBand) are added and hopefully also related
documentation, but the problem of identifying these real differences
is probably not the job of "yum" (and no, I don't have an idea whose
job should be...)
