When upgrading the Moodle core, it is recommended to upgrade all the additional plugins as well. It turns out there are cases when some available updates cannot be automatically deployed due to unexpected "Required Moodle version" validation check failure.

Steps to reproduce

1. Install Moodle 4.1

   mdk install -v 401

2. Install https://moodle.org/plugins/editor_marklar version 1.0.0-beta.3 (2021060901)
3. Switch the core code base to Moodle 4.2

   git checkout -b MOODLE_402_STABLE origin/MOODLE_402_STABLE

4. Go to the /admin
5. At the Plugins check page, press the "Check for available updates" and see that there is an available update for Moodle 4.2 (e.g. 2024030601 or higher)
6. Attempt to install this reported available update for the Marklar editor via the "Install this update" button

Expected behaviour:

The reported available update should be fetched and deployed.

Actual buggy behaviour:

The new version does not pass validation with the error:

[Error] Required Moodle version [2023042400] 

Installation aborted due to validation failure
