Description

### Please confirm these before moving forward

- [x] I have searched for my issue and not found a work-in-progress/duplicate/resolved issue.
- [x] I have not been informed if the issue is resolved in a preview version of the winget client.

### Category of the issue

Installation issue.

### Brief description of your issue

Jan.Jan 0.6.8

This version is already installed.

Jan.Jan is constantly offered even after letting it install again.

This has been reported for this package several dozen times previously always being fixed in the past.

Please fix it this time so that it doesn't happen again.

### Steps to reproduce

winget Install Jan.Jan
winget upgrade --all

### Actual behavior

Offers the version you just installed.

### Expected behavior

Shouldn't offer an update until the next actual update.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the report with `winget Install Jan.Jan` followed by `winget upgrade --all`, using the listed winget client version and Windows environment. Inspect the Jan.Jan package entry and its version metadata; done means the installed 0.6.8 version is no longer offered again, while a genuinely newer version remains discoverable.
