You can do it either way. It's a matter of the strictness of the binding. If you put %{version} there, then it has to come from the same upstream release; for %{version}-%{release} it has to come from the same SRPM, i.e. usually from the same build.

In this case I think %{version}-%{release} is appropriate.
