The kernel doesn't follow conventional semver practices, meaning that the major number incrementing has no effect beyong the minor number got too large. So there's nothing inherently different in a 7.X release from a 6.X release.

Either way, an LTS appears to be released ~every 6th version, 6.18 is the newest LTS, so after that there's 6.19, 7.0, 7.1, 7.2, 7.3, 7.4 maybe LTS?

kernel.org has a nice FAQ about this topic.
