The backport then MUST be upgraded to the version 6.4.0 once
it’s in testing, so you’d not gain any security guarantees.

No, only things that are in testing *and* are intended to be
shipped in the next stable are allowed in backports.
Backports are a thing you use when you want “what’ll be shipped
in the next Debian stable” on the current stable already. They
are not an arbitrary packaging mechanism.
