Fedora will include it much sooner, in fact Fedora 35 and 36 will get it in a few weeks at most.

I hope to see the KDE patches rebased on top of it as soon as possible!
Hopefully the next KDE Plasma version will be built with it.

It is already rebased. they have done it this time quickly.

In practice a number of distros may be, for some use cases, essentially ahead of 5.15.6, as they have been including the KDE team's curated set of backported patches from the upstream sources.
