Flow API Version Not Respected V49 showing as V54

Flow failed to deploy due to Property 'nameSegment' not valid in version 54.0

I recently was blocked from doing a deployment of a flow to production due to an api version discrepancy. The system was reporting that the flow that I was deploying was on version 54 despite the flow specifying it was on version 49. This prevented the xml from being deployed as it contained a 'nameSegment' which is no longer supported in later api versions.

I believe this issue was introduced with the DevOps Center update 6.4 that was released on July 22nd. I believe that the sfdx-project.json file's api version is overriding the value of the flow's xml with the api version contained within it.

(W-14179354, W-15247534: We support the latest API version, by default, unless a different version is specified as the sourceAPIversion in the sfdx-project.json file. If not specified, we support the latest version.)

I was able to work around the issue by updating the api version of the affected flows to a newer api version where the name segment is no longer present to fix the issue.
