Description
Describe the bug
I have attempted to perform a docker pull nginx:latest and have even tried nginx: on several different types of systems (Ubuntu (WSL), RaspberryPi, Windows/Docker Desktop). All of them pull an older version of nginx then the latest. Performing docker images show created 3 months ago and docker inspect show a different digest. Have tried nginx:stable and that one says created 9 months ago.
other docker pull of different repo appear to pull the correct release.
docker releases are 24.x and higher

Research direction
Start by reproducing docker pull nginx:latest and compare the image creation date and digest with docker images and docker inspect across the reported environments. Done means the latest tag resolves to the current NGINX release rather than the older image, or the cause of the stale resolution is documented.
