If the suggested upgrade is installed, there are no upgrades available.
If there will be a 19.4+ version, then it should be flagged.

Reproduce the behavior with the winget upgrade and winget list commands shown in the issue, then locate the upgrade-selection logic for side-by-side installations. Done means an installed suggested version is not reported as an available upgrade, while a newer version such as 19.4+ is still flagged.
