updates - which files to grab

Hi all,
   Perhaps a dumb question but here goes:

   The FC4 updates lists the following, as an example:

   perl-5.8.6-16.fc4.i386.rpm
   perl-5.8.6-18.i386.rpm
   perl-5.8.6-22.i386.rpm

   While it is clear that 5.8.6-22 supersedes 5.8.6-18, do both 
supersede 5.8.6-16.fc4.  In other words, do I simply ignore the .fc4 
addition to the file naming?

   Thanks and a Merry Christmas to all.

Bob
