[CentOS] Dell firmware repository - out of date firmware?

Hi All.

I am using dell firmware repository
(http://linux.dell.com/wiki/index.php/Repository/OMSA). To update all
firmware on my Dell PowerEdge R310 I use:
yum install $(bootstrap_firmware)
update_firmware --yes
and perform reboot.
Then the firmware for my PERC H200 RAID controller is "up to date"
with repository. When I make:
/opt/dell/srvadmin/bin/omreport storage controller
I get:
...
Firmware Version                              : 07.03.05.00
...
Driver Version                                : 05.101.00.02
Minimum Required Driver Version               : 07.00.01.00-1
...
So my driver is actually out of date.
On page: https://www.dell.com/support/drivers/us/en/555/DriverDetails/Product/poweredge-r310?driverId=NX9T4&osCode=WS8R2&fileId=3126023528
I see that SAS-RAID_Firmware_NX9T4_LN32_07.03.05.00_A08.BIN for RHEL
is available. It has a higher driver version than required
07.00.01.00-1 so a manual download and install should be ok in this
case.

Is the dell hardware repo serving old versions of firmware/drivers?
Should I in my case perform a manual update process?

Best regards,
