Can `resourceVersionMatch=Exact` return a different resource version than the one specified?

The documentation on the API says:

When using resourceVersionMatch=Exact and limit is unset, clients must verify that the collection’s .metadata.resourceVersion matches the requested resourceVersion, and handle the case where it does not.

And it also says:

For list requests to servers that honor the resourceVersionMatch parameter, this guarantees that the collection’s .metadata.resourceVersion is the same as the resourceVersion you requested in the query string.

So is the returned resource version guaranteed or not? If not, when can it happen?

I suspect the first part is relevant for get, but not list. These are supposedly different things in terms of RBAC. This is my best guest, I don’t really know.
