All the package / version numbers need to match *exactly* for certain tools to work, for example, some of the VMware things that build kernel modules.
If that's really the case, then VMware has broken asumptions. The last digit in the relase number is the rebuild counter. Packages get rebuild whenever a build-dependency changes. Kernel source and binary packages have slightly different build dependencies (e.g. the binary packages buildrequire module-init-tools) => Kernel binary packages might rebuild more often than kernel-source or vice versa => Rebuild counters differ. Build scripts can check if /lib/modules/`uname -r`/{build,source} are valid symlinks, not if random strings in rpm -q output equal each other.
