The devs have admitted to changing the drop rates of medals on the newer servers, while keeping the rates on the older servers untouched.
But changing the drop rates would not necessitate different versions of the source code. You might be under the impression that the rates are programmed like this:
const float ROSE_MEDAL_DROP_RATE=0.1;
When it could be read from a configuration file (it's much easier to have different config files on different servers instead of different source code) that looks like this:
MyScrewedUpValues.cfg
ROSE_MEDAL_DROP_RATE=0.000000000000000000000000000 0001
