Lower semver stable versions are considered valid updates to prereleases

[budak7273]

For example, stable 1.3.0 is considered an "update" when the user has manually opted into pre-release 1.4.0-pre1.

It's a combination of the way SMM checks for updates and semver
When it checks for updates it sets all profile versions to *, which only matches releases
But when selecting a prerelease and checking "or newer" (i.e. >=x.y.z-pre.a), that would match only newer releases and same version prereleases, but SMM's update check has to set the range to *, otherwise it would never offer an update if the user selected a fixed version
