We can update the firmware in the viewer, but we are talking about a .bin file & release note .

I researched this subject carefully. I believe the Viewer uses the SDK instruction RS2_CAMERA_INFO_RECOMMENDED_FIRMWARE_VERSION to retrieve the recommended firmware for that Viewer version. I cannot locate the location that the Viewer is retrieving the firmware 5.11.15.0 from though.

It is likely that the previous version, 5.11.11.100, will continue to be sufficient for your needs until the bin file for the latest version is published on the downloads page, since the Viewer and SDK can work with firmwares older than the newest one.
