No. Let's assume that it could, you could still check out a recent version and
then update to the earlier version. Now, if you would disallow updating to an
earlier version, too, by simply not giving out anything but the most recent
data, you also couldn't update, since that just passes the changes relative to
the WC's BASE revision. So this isn't just a missing feature but rather a
fundamental thing.

I'm not sure what you would achieve with that or how that is related to
"security". If you elaborated on that, maybe people could suggest a different
approach?

Neither. This is also a fundamental design choice that no data is ever
discarded. Of course, with raw repository access you still could erase things
from a repository, but this isn't the "normal" operation mode.
If you want, you could install a post-commit script that takes some source
code and publishes it via FTP/HTTP. You could then immediately remove old
versions when a new version is available. However, this basically boils down
to blocking all repository access and doing the distribution/publishing with
something else, not with Subversion.
Cheers!
