The odd vs even versions rule you describe, while followed by a few projects, is not part of Semantic Versioning (aka SemVer) - there's no mention of it whatsoever in the spec at https://semver.org/.
Indeed it is basically incompatible with SemVer given that SemVer has its own way of marking unstable versions (or, equivalently, pre-release versions; SemVer conflates the two concepts). Unstable/pre-release versions under SemVer are indicated by a hyphenated suffix after the patch version - e.g. 1.2.3-alpha
