SM:

If only the rev number is changing, the "replaces" should not be used.  The "replaces" is used to indicate an older file name, and it is most commonly used to indicate that an individual draft has been adopted by a WG.  

For example, look at https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-iasa2-rfc4071bis/ <https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-iasa2-rfc4071bis/>
