Samsung Tab A S (SM-T357T) Firmware Overview
What is the latest SM-T357T firmware?
T357TUVS1APL1, released January 23, 2017 with Android 5.0.2. It is a security update on bootloader binary 1. The archive holds 5 official builds across 1 region (CSC). Each one is the full stock ROM (flash file) for Odin, not an OTA patch.
Is the Samsung Tab A S still getting updates?

Can I downgrade the SM-T357T firmware?
Only to builds with the same bootloader binary (the Bit column) or higher. All decodable builds in the archive share binary 1:
