We cannot know that, because you have not shown your /etc/exports line nor your /etc/fstab line for mounting the filesystem.

RHEL5 can handle all the NFS versions RHEL4 can, so it is possible to make it work. But if you try to force each endpoint to use a different version, it definitely does not work.

Are you aware that server A may be set to export /home to the other server *only*? You may have to add a permission for server B to mount the filesystem to /etc/exports of the server A, and then run "exportfs -r".
