kudzu-devel and kudzu-debuginfo packages most likely don't specifically
depend on the exact version of kudzu-1.2.16-1, therefor when you update
kudzu, no deps have been broken, and thus the other kudzu packages won't
be touched.

Quite normal for many  *-devel packages.  This is useful on many 
occasions. You can install kernel-devel and build a module for a older 
version of the kernel for example. I think DKMS does this.
