3.17 (latest stable) is on 5.15-branch yes, but edge is on 6.1.19. 
Stable doesn't get new major versions of new packages, only bug and 
security fixes, unless it's functionality is completely broken without 
it (think of applications relying on network-based services changing API).

If you want 6.1.x you'll have to switch to edge, or wait for Alpine 
Linux 3.18

Best regards,
