XOOPS patches are for updates only!
So, if there is a security issue, and the core team fixes the problem, the version number goes up.
If you look closely, you will notice

XOOPS 2.0.7 to 2.0.9.2 patch

... everything labelled as a patch, has two sets of numbers, ajoined by "to"...meaning, you go from one number to the next version, by patching the first version number, which leaves you with the last version number.
An example. Let's say, you had installed XOOPS a couple of months ago. Then you would have an 2.0.7 installation.
Now you want the latest version, so you would need the "XOOPS 2.0.7 to 2.0.9.2 patch"
Now let's say installed your XOOPS system mid december, and have 2.0.7.3 installed, then you would use the "XOOPS 2.0.7.x to 2.0.9.2 patch"
And if you installed in January your XOOPS system, most likely it would have been 2.0.9, which you would now have to patch with "XOOPS 2.0.9 to 2.0.9.2 patch"
Hope this clarifies
