That is an unstable version, see the sidebar in https://webkitgtk.org/news.html. GNOME and GNOME adjacent software typically uses odd minor versions during the development of the next stable (even) version. (Though some software does not follow this policy or we package unstable release because the stable version is too old. Also, GNOME is currently discussing abandoning this policy because people find it confusing.) Some packages avoid even the odd patch versions (GIMP, NetworkManager…) and some designate minor versions 90+ pre-release versions/release candidates.

Okay, thanks for info I thought that only "gnome-" packages follow the even-odd release scheme. I'll be more careful next time.
