Yes they use the latest (highest) version number a distro uses as the version. Sometime you have to flag a version number as invalid (should be ignored), because some distributions use custom versions not matching the upstream. E.g. 1.2.3 if upstream is 1.2 but there package revision is 3. But basically repologys requires that the version matches the latest git tag (or similar proof). Cheers Ferdinand Am 17.

And we also need to take into account how repology decides what 'the latest version' is. Which seems not exactly in relation to what any given upstream does
(e.g. cutecom, repology claims 0.51.0+patch would be the latest version. just because one distro decided to define this as version number for their 0.51.0 package)
