What you expected to see, versus what you actually saw
Splitting this out of #11068 (comment) for visibility since it appears to remain broken. For example https://github.com/jenkinsci/workflow-api-plugin/actions/runs/21574695951/job/62159764474 run on 2026-02-01 claims
No update needed for org.jenkins-ci.plugins:plugin 6.2108.v08c2b_01b_cf4d
which is wrong since that dep had at that time a newer version: https://github.com/jenkinsci/plugin-pom/releases/tag/6.2122.v70b_7b_f659d72
Example impact: jenkinsci/workflow-api-plugin#456 remains (as of this writing) the last update to this dep, which is bad since that included a bad change jenkinsci/plugin-pom#1286 that was subsequently reverted, but we cannot use DB to pick up the fix automatically.
