Research direction
Start with the attached WinGet logs and compare the reported 6.0.5 version with the installed 6.0.7 version in the Windows environment described. Reproduce the upgrade behavior and determine why the application is reinstalled; done means Winget detects the correct version and does not reinstall unnecessarily.
