Indeed, because the "stability" they refer to is different.

Debian's "stable" does not mean that the packages's versions are
considered specially "stable".  It means the distro's packaging is
"stable", i.e. Debian considers that it's done a good job of packaging
those programs: they are built correctly, they have good dependency info
which makes sure upgrading/downgrading does the right thing, the default
configs are usable, the docs and various other files are placed where
Debian expects them to be, ...
