When should update Linux packages according to semantic versioning?

Suppose I have <package>-x1.y1.z1 and I am talking specifically about php and mysql or mariadb
x1: major release
y1: minor release (new features)
z1: patches release (bug and security fixes)

If z2 is released, should I update immediately? if yes then the best option is to use a daily cronjob for "yum update --security" or install dfn-automatic and set it for security updates am I right? for example currently I am on php-8.1.24, php-8.1.25 released 4 days ago should I update?

if x2 or y2 is released I think I should check with Xenforo compatibility and recommendations before I update, I am right?

Any suggestions would be appreciated.
