Technically, no, you have to be able to build the next release from the
previous release.

For example, when 13.0 was released on 2021-04-13, the latest release
was 12.2, which was released on 2020-10-27, and you had to be able to
build it with 12.2.

Right now, the latest release is 13.1, so one should be able to build
HEAD from 13.1.

In the close future, when 14.0 gets cut in july this year (probably) the
latest release would have been 13.2, so you will have to be able to
build it from a 13.2.
