Ubuntu is copying packages from Debian (to avoid double packaging work) and for both rtorrent and libtorrent Debian has not yet packaged the new versions.
You might consider creating bug reports in the Debian bug tracker requesting version upgrades.
When Debian has created a new package, this will be copied into the development version of Ubuntu.

Remark: The versions of rtorrent/libtorrent in the Ubuntu releases Ubuntu focal and newer are those marked as "stable" in https://github.com/rakshasa/rtorrent
Ubuntu usually does not provide packages with the "unstable" version.

Can you help with this problem?
