Well, the stable branch in always latest major version number -2.
So currently 15 is stable, 16 is beta, 17 is alpha.

Well, after looking at Arch's PKGBUILD [1] it's actually very easy.
The tarball of the latest Chromium has exactly the same version number as
Google Chrome.
The latest stable version can either be automatically found out by parsing the
XML file http://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/chromium-browser-official and
then looking for the newest "LastModified" of major-2 (probably not worth the
effort writing a parser) or by simply grabbing the newest version number from
http://googlechromereleases.blogspot.com/search/label/Stable%20updates and
manually modifying the specfile every few weeks.

In specfile syntax the tarball can be acquired via 
http://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/chromium-browser-official/chromium-%{version}.tar.bz2

So as of today, the specfile would specify
"Version:        15.0.874.121"

And the latest stable version is 
http://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/chromium-browser-official/chromium-15.0.874.121.tar.bz2
