Why isn't is updated to a newer versions? Is there something not working with Gtk2 in newer versions?

It isn't even marked out of date.
Can you please link to the new upstream release?
There's also webkitgtk package https://www.archlinux.org/packages/?name=webkitgtk - maybe you mixed them up (I often do).

What is the difference between them besides webkitgtk depending on gtk3 and webkitgtk2 depending on gtk2? In fact, I don't understand why they don't have the same version.

I know nothing about them ;P
https://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit … /webkitgtk
https://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit … webkitgtk2
Edit:
I don't understand why they don't have the same version.
If I get it right, webkitgtk2 is a legacy version.

webkitgtk2 will work with gtk2 apps (as opposed to gtk3), for e.g. claws-mail and midori.
I use webkit 2.2.1 (it seems to be nicely backwards-compatible), so I suggest you ask for that version in Arch.

Isn't there gstreamer compatibility issues?
Offline
I haven't used gstreamer through webkit, but it seemed to compile OK with gstreamer 1.0.10 - some snippets from webkit's compilation:
checking for GSTREAMER... yes
CXX Source/WebCore/platform/graphics/gstreamer/libPlatformGtk_la-GStreamerGWorld.lo
CXX Source/WebCore/platform/graphics/gstreamer/libPlatformGtk_la-ImageGStreamerCairo.lo
CXX Source/WebCore/platform/graphics/gstreamer/libPlatformGtk_la-PlatformVideoWindowGtk.lo
CXX Source/WebCore/platform/graphics/gstreamer/libPlatformGtk_la-VideoSinkGStreamer.lo

The minimum system requirements for WebkitGTK 2.0+ are GTK+ 3.6 or greater. That's why the regular webkitgtk package depends on gtk3 and there is a legacy version that uses the last release compatible with GTK+ 2.

Which makes it incompatible with a lot of gtk2 apps that still require gstreamer0.10... Or at least inconvenient.
