OpenSSL Update

Our security scan is saying that our OpenSSL version is behind. We are currently running OpenSSL 1.0.2k-fips 26 Jan 2017 which is the latest provided by Yum. Is there a reason that version is 1.1.0i or later isn't available via Yum? Will newer versions be supported? What is the criteria for a software release to be published in the Yum repo's?
