A) Ask Red Hat, I see no date for RHEL 6 update 10 yet.   update 9 
released 6 or 8 weeks ago, so its likely 3-4 months before update 10 
releases.

B) afaik, TLS v1.3 hasn't even been ratified yet, its still a draft

C) openssl v.1.1.1 which is supposed to support TLS v1.3(draft) isn't 
finished yet, either, its still a -dev release.

D)  RHEL 6 is, as of yesterday, in "production 3" [*], where only 
critical fixes and serious security exposures will be fixed.    I see 
this as pretty unlikely they'd upgrade openssl
