Not necessarily, which is why you need to read the changelogs. For
example, 2.6.21-r1 may be released to fix something with 2.6.20, so when
2.6.21.1 is released, it will be in 2.6.21-r2. Bit it is reasonable to
assume that the latest -r release is based on the latest revision of the
kernel.

Note that stable has different meanings depending on whether you apply
it to the kernel or the ebuild.
