It's just semver. Gtk 3 isn't receiving new features, so it's frozen at 3.24. It still gets bug/security fixes, so 3.24.x patch releases abound (and it seems the current version is actually 3.24.37). Similar situation with Gtk2, current version is 2.24.33.

They slightly cheated and added some new features to 3.24.x to ease the transition and integrate into newer tech better like sandboxing.
