I do not know the details well enough to be able to decide which is the

As the maintainer of OpenImageIO I agree with Kevin, I'm OK with either, but
one thing I would ask upstream is why they bumped soname on a patch level
version increase...
Yes---confused me too. I'll ask them this when I e-mail them next.
With my packages I would typically update all released Fedora
versions for
patch level updates, but I also frequently build the package myself and run
abi-compliance-checker or fedabipkgdiff on it to make sure things like soname
bumps don't sneak in...
The changes from 3.6.2 to 3.6.4 do mention a few API changes, not too
clearly though, in their release announcements/changelogs:
https://github.com/DCMTK/dcmtk/tree/master/docs
There is no mention of ABI changes there.
I did run abipkgdiff, and this is what it gave me:
https://ankursinha.fedorapeople.org/misc/dcmtk-3.6.2-3.6.4-abipkgdiff.txt
It doesn't pick up any changes in the shared objects (can it, if the
version has been changed?). I'm not experienced enough with these
reports. Does that look OK?
For the time being I'm going to backport the patch and push an update as
Mamoru suggested, simply because it's less work and quicker.
