The version compare actually only matters for recipes in the same layer; if
multiple layers provide the same recipe, the priority of the layers is what
determines which one gets chosen (even if that means an older version in a
higher priority layer would be chosen over a newer version in a lower
priority layer).

Anyway, you should be fine because meta-webkit has a priority of 7 and
oe-core is priority 5, so it will always choose the meta-webkit version, if
that layer is present.
