Very probably, the explanation is going to be a mix of factors, including: the major release of Fedora that you're examining was recent, and few projects have made breaking changes since its release.  Without breaking changes, there's no cause to hold back updates to those packages.

If Fedora were stable it would still be on Kernel 5 not Kernel 6.

Yes, as I said: You're looking at Fedora 37, which was released on 2022-11-15, which is later than the Linux kernel version 6, which was released 2022-10-02.  It would not be unusual for a stable release to contain Linux kernel version 6 if it were released after that kernel.

And, because the kernel's public interface hasn't had any breaking changes since then, it's not necessary to hold it on an earlier release branch within a stable release.

I think your definition of "stable" might be... non-standard?  Software developers use that term in a way that's not intuitive for many people.
