Interesting, thank you for the details. This means that in some way, RHEL is ahead of Oracle Linux in terms of kernels? I don't see an UEK version tracking Linux 6.1 at all, AFAIK.
But you're still beholden to what the Red Hat maintainers are pulling in and focusing on. It's still not a general follow upstream wholesale.
You can see and track what UEK is doing by looking at their Github: https://github.com/oracle/linux-uek/commits/uek7/u1
