scsi-fixes and scsi-queue are usually forked from linus/master at the
about same time after the merge window closes.

 - Bugfixes for the current release go into scsi-fixes.

 - New features for next release go into scsi-queue.

Consequently, it's perfectly normal for fixes to be more "recent" than
queue. I only rebase the queue if I absolutely have to (i.e. a new
feature depends on something that happened in Linus' tree after the
merge window closed).
