Current shadow-utils is indeed at 4.0.3-58. The mirrors I've checked all have the updated version in the updates directory. Where have you been looking, are you behind a caching proxy, etc?
I keep a local CentOS repository by using rsync from the Georgia Tech server. I also manually checked the ftp servers at Washington University in St. Louis and JTL Networks. All three only have shadow-utils-4.0.3-53 in .../4.2/os/i386/CentOS/RPMS. What am I missing? Or did I just happen to pick three bad mirrors?
That's the base repository. If you're hosting a local mirror you might consider rsyncing the updates directory as well. .../4/updates/i386/
The base repository won't change until there's a new point release (4.3), and you should probably use /4/ instead of /4.2/ to ensure that you get the point release updates when they're released.
Also, the alert tool you're referring to uses sources listed in /etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources, not the usual yum configs in /etc/yum.repos.d/
