Palle, you will get a more up to date version of Slurm by using the GitHub repository https://github.com/SchedMD/slurm
You do not necessarily have to use the Linux distribution version of packages, which are often out of date. However - please tell us a bit more about your environment. Specifically, are you using some cluster middleware such as OpenHPC or Bright? In such a case you are probably better staying with the version provided by the middleware.
