If you see a reason why version 3.0.9 doesn't meet openSUSE Lead 42.1 user needs please raise them here or via bugzilla.
AFAICS SLE12 contains freeradius-server 3.0.3. If this is taken for Leap I'm concerned that users won't get support by FreeRADIUS developers because the standard response will be "upgrade to x because it's fixed there".
Why should users contact FreeRADIUS developers directly when Leap has maintainer/bugowner?
That's what they usually do because they experience problems or at least have questions.
I am not sure if you or those hypothetical users are not missing the point of Leap, that is long term supported, stable release, where stability usually does not go well along having latest packages. For users seeking latest versions, there is Tumbleweed. Also notice that same kind of argumentation which you are using for freeradius-server could be applied to almost any package in distribution. Anyway, even with latest freeradius-server in Leap it is still possible that somebody (bugowner) would have to backport fix from upstream master - and as you already said, you are willing to do only version bumps.
