RPM repository possibly out of date - Validator Guides

[florentina57]

I was following the Validator Guides to install a Polkadot node using the RPM-based method with Rocky Linux 9. The version of the polkadot binary available in the repository appears to be 0.9.33-1, while the latest version available on Github appears to be 1.17.1 .
