Yes, some distros, especially server-targeted ones, are really slow with 
their package updates. However, usually there are external repositories 
which offer newer versions of packages. I use the following repository 
for CentOS, I guess there might be similar repos for LTS as well:

php 	5.4.4 	RHEL-6 backport
