A release is configured with a release-specific catalog before the main
one:

 laptop% bin/raco pkg config catalogs
 https://download.racket-lang.org/releases/6.5/catalog/
 https://pkgs.racket-lang.org
 https://planet-compats.racket-lang.org

So, you could specify the catalog that always has the latest:

 laptop% bin/raco pkg update --catalog https://pkgs.racket-lang.org gui-lib

Unfortunately, it's not going to work in this case:

 Inferred package scope: installation
 Resolving "gui-lib" via https://pkgs.racket-lang.org
 Updating:
  gui-lib
 Downloading repository git://github.com/racket/gui/?path=gui-lib
 The following out-of-date packages are listed as dependencies of gui-lib:
    base (have 6.5, need 6.5.0.2)
 Would you like to update these dependencies? [Y/n/a/c/?] n

The problem is that the latest "gui-lib" already uses base features
that are not in v6.5.

That should have worked, and it looks to me like the change is included
in the d0d85b2 snapshots. (I downloaded a source distribution from both
the Utah and NWU sites to check.) Can you say more about which one you
downloaded and why the change seems to be missing?
