Keycloak admin client is a part of Keycloak code base so it's maintained by
Keycloak project developers.

 With every new release of Keycloak the keycloak-admin-client is
incremented to the new version. It is constantly maintained.

In principle it should work with the same major version of the server - so
minor version releases should not break it (in principle). But I think
there have been cases where we made changes that broke that, and I don't
think we have the tests to make sure that it works. Thus it's best to test
your clients with new version against older server before upgrading.
