Linux kernel does not have a major version. All versions are equal.
Which brings us back to my original question: can the kernels in that repository be used with Leap 15.4?
The kernel itself - yes. But kernel RPM likely has some binaries which are built against Tumbleweed libraries so their requirements may be missing in Leap.
Probably more importantly - kernel RPM built against Tumbleweed will be using newer versions of infrastructure (RPM macros, tools to install/remove kernel etc) which may be no more compatible with Leap.
What stops you from simply trying to install RPM and boot the kernel? It takes much less time than these back and forth messages.
