An increased compatibility version means that symbols were added. So an
executable built against a higher compatibility version can't run with a
lib with a lower one, but the other way round is fine.

If symbols are removed or have their semantics changed, the soname
should change. So a higher compatibility version alone should not be
taken as indicating that rev bumps for dependents are needed.
