Yes, often. Especially when a given ABI is "popular" (aka default
quick launch in clouds, point release download media, certified, and
similar).
Also Canonical Support & Livepatch mostly work with out-of-date reports too.
As generally the desire is for the kernel they are going to reboot
into, fix a specific problem, rather than rebooting to the newest one
to still discover that the issue at hand is not fixed.

As mentioned elsewhere pull-pkg (and friends pull-lp-debs /
pull-lp-ddebs ) are very useful tools to quickly & securely download
desired packages from launchpad librarian.
