Don’t worry, there’s nothing wrong. The version number within “About” is obtained from /usr/share/gnome/gnome-version.xml, which is provided by package gnome-desktop3, it’s still version 40.1-1 for Fedora 34. (40.2-1 for rawhide)

gnome-shell is on 40.2-1 tho, you can check with command gnome-shell --version.

Did your system has gnome 40.2 or 40.1?

[leekaize]

40.2 for gnome-shell and mutter. (if you meant on Settings > About, it’s 40.1)
You can also run command dnf list installed *gnome* *mutter* to check versions of packages if you didn’t know. Most packages are still on version 40.1/40.0.

Thank you for your kind support

One thing to be aware of always.

The upstream versions are not instantly available in fedora. It takes some time for the package updates to be received, tested, and distributed, so there is always some delay between when the upstream maintainers release the update and when it hits the fedora updates.
