No.  That's the difference between a major bump and a minor bump:
major must match exactly, while the minor version may be higher on the
library than what the executable was linked against.

(Yes, this implies that developers must have a discipline about
version number bumps, but it's a subtler problem from the developer
side, gauging when a minor or major is needed, so some times there are
slips that get caught later...)
