The kernel-headers package reflects the version of the kernel used to
compile Glibc, and not  necessary matches your running kernel's

I don't think you're going to take any problems on upgrading that,

I don't think there's a newer release. If you want to make a new one
from a more recent kernel, I'd suggest you to look at the headers
script, developed by LFS guys:
