It seems that the latest released version of qemu-kvm-ev is qemu-kvm-ev-2.3.0-31.el7_2.21.1 based on the following:

However, our systems are refusing to update to that package because qemu-kvm-ev-2.3.0-31.el7.16.1 is installed. I believe the 16.1 is making it seem that it is newer than 2.21.1 (16 > 2). As a result, we're unable to update and it seems that the latest package covers 2 CVE's, to which this one doesn't.
No, it sorts properly: $ printf '%s\n' 2.3.0-31.el7_2.21.1 2.3.0-31.el7.16.1 | sort -V 2.3.0-31.el7.16.1 2.3.0-31.el7_2.21.1
Is this something that was done on purpose to control releases or is this a bug?
Neither, you likely do not have centos-release-qemu-ev installed, have disabled the repo or are using an out of date mirror.
