RedHat gets paid for supporting their customers. Presumably they have
reasons for not supporting newer bacula versions. At least 5.2.13 is
still in base, there have been several instances where they dropped
software supported by other commercial entities altogether. DRBD, for
example.

Of course on centos you needn't care about RH support terms so you may
as well install from upstream repo.
