Yes.  The OpenLDAP group just announced the availability of 2.4.53 on 9/7/2020.

OpenLDAP 2.4.53 (2020/09/07)
     Added slapd syncrepl additional SYNC logging (ITS#9043)
     Fixed slapd syncrepl segfault on NULL cookie on REFRESH (ITS#9282)

     Fixed slapo-ppolicy race condition for pwdFailureTime (ITS#9302,ITS#9334)
     Build
         Require OpenSSL 1.0.2 or later (ITS#9323)
         Fixed libldap compilation issue with broken C compilers (ITS#9332)


Though 2.4.54 was announced yesterday,  10/12/2020.

OpenLDAP 2.4.54 Release (2020/10/12)

     Fixed slapd delta-syncrepl to be fully serialized (ITS#9330)
     Fixed slapd delta-syncrepl MOD on zero-length context entry (ITS#9352)
     Fixed slapd sessionlog to use a TAVL tree (ITS#8486)
     Fixed slapd syncrepl to be fully serialized (ITS#8102)
     Fixed slapd syncrepl to call check_syncprov on fresh consumer (ITS#9345)

     Fixed slapd-monitor fix monitor_back_register_database for empty suffix DB (ITS#9353)
     Fixed slapo-accesslog normalizer for reqStart (ITS#9358)

Only one month behind, that's pretty quick turnaround for VSI.  Perhaps they are working with OpenLDAP.org to keep OpenVMS in the development stream.
