Some *really* old bases can cause problems, but generally that's if it's more than a year old (or if there's been some major upheaval that happens to particularly strike your particular code).
Honestly, I don't think I can recall any actual "that is based on something so old that it actually gets problematic" case ever having happened. But I could imagine it.
So if it's "a release or two", it's not worth rebasing for. Not unless there is some other pressing reason (ie some screw-up that requires a rebase).
