I have noticed that one of my nodes has different versions of the kernel installed on it than the rest of my nodes. Should I be concerned about this?

Weird Node
Code:
proxmox-ve: 8.1.0 (running kernel: 6.5.11-6-pve)
pve-manager: 8.1.3 (running version: 8.1.3/b46aac3b42da5d15)
proxmox-kernel-helper: 8.1.0
pve-kernel-5.15: 7.4-6
proxmox-kernel-6.5: 6.5.11-6
proxmox-kernel-6.5.11-6-pve-signed: 6.5.11-6
proxmox-kernel-6.5.11-5-pve-signed: 6.5.11-5
proxmox-kernel-6.2.16-19-pve: 6.2.16-19
proxmox-kernel-6.2: 6.2.16-19
proxmox-kernel-6.2.16-15-pve: 6.2.16-15
pve-kernel-5.15.116-1-pve: 5.15.116-1
pve-kernel-5.15.30-2-pve: 5.15.30-3

All the other nodes
Code:
proxmox-ve: 8.1.0 (running kernel: 6.5.11-6-pve)
pve-manager: 8.1.3 (running version: 8.1.3/b46aac3b42da5d15)
proxmox-kernel-helper: 8.1.0
pve-kernel-5.15: 7.4-6
proxmox-kernel-6.5: 6.5.11-6
proxmox-kernel-6.5.11-6-pve-signed: 6.5.11-6
proxmox-kernel-6.2.16-19-pve: 6.2.16-19
proxmox-kernel-6.2: 6.2.16-19
proxmox-kernel-6.2.16-15-pve: 6.2.16-15
pve-kernel-5.15.116-1-pve: 5.15.116-1
pve-kernel-5.15.30-2-pve: 5.15.30-3
 
Both are running the same version, which is good. Looks like one was switched to kernel 6.5 (or PVE 8.1) one version earlier (since it also has 6.5.11-5 installed), which should not be a problem.
Feel free to remove older kernel versions (within the same major version), once you're sure the new one works fine and you don't need to switch back.
Version 5.15 kernels are not installed by default on PVE 8, so maybe you upgraded or installed them manually but you are not using them (anymore).
Since PVE 8.1 switched to kernel 6.5 by default, you can remove the 6.2 versions as well.
