I apologies in advance if the question is obvious. I'm still finding my way through the Android world.

I keep seeing posts about "Recovery mode for Lollipop" for different devices. Some of these Lollipop recoveries require installation from kitkat recovery. Is the assumption here that the next boot should be to lollipop (as the recovery only works with its android version)? Or the fact that it's a lollipop recovery actually means that it supports all (several?) Android versions up until Lollipop?

Thanks in advance
