[DISCUSS] The strategy for upgrading to the latest feature release from LTS version

There is a question from Girish in the Pulsar Slack channel [0] asking if
users can
upgrade to the latest feature release from the LTS version directly.

For example, from 3.0.0 to 3.2.0 (3.1.0 is skipped)

The documentation[1] doesn't have a clear answer for this

```
3.0 -> 4.0 -> 3.0 is OK;
3.2 -> 4.0 -> 3.2 is OK;
3.2 -> 4.4 -> 3.2 is OK;
3.2 -> 5.0 is not OK.
```

I suppose `3.2` represents the last feature release of 3.0.

Can we say?
```
3.0 -> 3.2 -> 3.0 is OK;
```

From my understanding, it should always be true. Otherwise, users are
not able to go to 4.0 directly from 3.0 (4.0 will have all the changes from
3.1 and 3.2)

Please let me know if you are concerned about adding the following to the
document.

```
3.0 -> 3.2 -> 3.0 is OK;
```
