Copy last published workfile doesn't trigger if any version of a workfile is present

Is there an existing issue for this?

Description

Current Behavior

When starting a DCC application for a task, if the user has any version of a workfile available on the local site, no newer version of the workfile is downloaded from the remote site.

Expected Behavior

If a newer version of a workfile was published to the remote site, it should be downloaded and made the latest version. Best if the user is also notified of this when it happens

Steps To Reproduce:

Configuration:
Nothing special in the configuration except for having SiteSync enabled and the studio site being a local shared storage.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Publish a workfile of any type of DCC for a task (e.g. v001)
2. Have another user publish a newer version of a workfile for the same task (e.g. v002)
3. Try to open the DCC for the task again. You get the workfile corresponding to v001.

Additional context:

Version

• Server 1.8.4+202505161303
• Core 1.4.1
• SiteSync 1.2.5
• Applications 1.1.4
• Blender 1.0.0

What platform were you running when you found the bug?

Windows

Despite the older version of SiteSync, the code in the pre-launch hook handling this is identical
