Not sure I understand: we currently have
(defconst c-version "5.33.1"
in cc-defs.el. In which way is this different?

The purpose of this "Version:" header is to document for package.el
which version of the cc-mode package is bundled with Emacs so that it
can decide whether some other cc-mode ELPA package is more or
less recent (and hence whether to activate that other package or not).
So it very much belongs in `master`.

Someone pushed a commit which changes that part of the file.

Right: when you decide the code deserves a new GNU ELPA release.
