Yes, this is driven by a support case from Azure
(kdump error on Arm64 VM w/ 48 vCPUs 192 GiB RAM).

It seems that support for arm64 on Azure started on 2022,
~2 years after Focal release, as the first arm64 build of
the linux-azure kernel package is 5.4.0-1075.78 (Apr 2022).

That's certainly understandable.
In this case, no; the patches are down to Focal as that
is the release where the bug/support case were reported,
and would ideally be fixed on, if at all possible.

Hope this helps.
