Description

When generating release PRs for feature bands, the pipeline logic relies on the public release metadata to indicate what the latest SDK release is. This creates a timing issue. The pipeline logic may run before the releases.json file gets updated. That may cause a PR to be created for a feature band that is EOL. See an example of this: https://github.com/dotnet/dotnet/pull/8237

Research direction

Start by reviewing the pipeline logic that uses public release metadata and the releases.json file, then compare its behavior with the example PR #8237. Done means the pipeline no longer creates a release PR for an EOL feature band when releases.json has not yet been updated.
