Yes, it should do otherwise more tests would be often broken.

I guess that's the question for Damien (I and Cyril have nothing to do with
kernel test robot). I wonder myself.

Yes, whatever kernel version (stable, enterprise, mainline, linux-next, ...) is
being tested, the tester should make sure LTP is compiled against correct
headers.
