It all depends upon what Red Hat backported.

Agreed.  The most recent kernel in that series for which a src.rpm has
been released by Red Hat is kernel-2.6.32-358.18.1.el6 which is dated 15
August 2013 but was published on 27 August 2013.   However, there are
bug reports in the RedHat bugzilla referencing 2.6.32-358.20.1.el6
dating to mid-August.

I have posted an inquiry to Red Hat.
