Yes, FME is backwards compatible, no problem.

In some cases you may also want to upgrade transformers to a more recent version, either to profit from performance improvements or new functionality: https://docs.safe.com/fme/html/FME_Desktop_Documentation/FME_Workbench/Workbench/Working_With_Transformer_Versions.htm
