XR 6.2.3 is newer than 6.2.25 (what they meant by 25 was probably '6.2.2.5').  6.2.3 is currently the suggested EMR that is until 6.3.3 rolls later.  See https://supportforums.cisco.com/t5/service-providers-documents/ios-xr-release-strategy-and-deployment-recommendation/ta-p/3165422

For ASR9K, we started rolling 6.2.3 for cXR (upgrading from 6.2.25 on shipped boxes), as that's the minimum version required for the new 4x100GE cost optimized line card (Skyhammer-mini).
