It seems strange that linux-lts would require newer drivers than linux.

An updated nvidia and nvidia-dkms are also available in testing, so using testing would fix this issue. Kind of strange that nvidia-lts was pushed through before these, though.

Looks resolved. nvidia-utils-510.68.02-1 is in main repos.
