The vast majority of interfaces in RHEL (and Stream) are guaranteed stable within a major release, and only a small number of interfaces that aren't. It's possible that one of the latter interfaces might change, in which case you'd expect yum to not update the dependency until EPEL's packages have been rebuilt: https://access.redhat.com/articles/rhel-abi-compatibility#Appendix
