There seems to be a larger issue here: somehow the 5.15.18 DLLs are
not present in /usr/bin after installing those released packages.
The debug version of them are installed into /usr/lib/debug/usr/bin
but the stripped non-debug version are missing. I will investigate
further.
After the 5.15.18 DLLs get installed properly I can look into the
version incompatibility problem.
I do not see the problem here, they seems in the right place
$ cygcheck -l libQt5Gui5
/usr/bin/cygQt5Gui-5.dll
/usr/bin/cygQt5OpenGL-5.dll
/usr/bin/cygQt5PrintSupport-5.dll
/usr/bin/cygQt5Widgets-5.dll
/usr/bin/cygQt5XcbQpa-5.dll
Unfortunately the names of the DLLs haven't changed between 5.9.* and
5.15.18. One has to look at the update times to notice the problem:

Protip: Properly built PE, NE, LE or LX format DLL and EXE files are
supposed to contain a
"Version information" structure, which specifies a textual file
description, copyright
information (such as "(C) year,year FSF Inc." and "LGPL 3.0+" as well as
computer
comparable binary version numbers in the form U16[4] { major, minor,
sub, patch } .
Specificially this format contains a fixed length binary structure with
flags and binary
version numbers, and a set of strings indexed by standard ID strings
such as "Copyright" .
The string values can be provided in any desired set of human languages,
such as English,
Norwegian and Japanese by providing a list of complete structures for
each numbered
Win32 locale, (such as 0x040904B0 = US English, UTF-16LE strings) .
There are tools and Win32 APIs to extract this structure from its
designated file locations,
as well as the option to independently implement this in an portable
tool to extract this
from a POSIX system. The easiest GUI tool is to right click on the file
in Windows, select
Properties and find the tab that shows all the strings in the language
most similar to the
current locale.
So if the Qt build scripts include this information, checking if a DLL
is >= a required version
should be easy, even if /bin/cp has reset the timestamps.
Enjoy
