The short answer is no. Bitbake releases are actually tightly coupled to matching versions of layer metadata, so while you can try to use newer bitbake with older metadata, you are on your own with any issues.

The changelog at https://git.openembedded.org/bitbake/tree/ChangeLog hasn't been touched in quite a few years, Yocto Project release notes include details of changes https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Releases, but nothing about compatibility.
