Shouldn't there be a warning when package can't update to latest?

Has this been discussed ?

Yes, a couple of days ago here:

Very fancy package updating 1.6

You are right. Sorry. It is the damn dependencies: it pulled 8.2.6, which I thought was okay. But apparently the new one is 0.9… I will then rephrase my previously stated opinion: we need some way of detecting newer package versions.

See in particular

Very fancy package updating 1.6

https://github.com/GunnarFarneback/PackageCompatUI.jl is also useful for this purpose. Packages that have newer versions than specified by [compat] are shown in yellow and you can update Project.toml directly from the UI. (This package is Julia 1.6 only and won’t be registered until 1.6 has been released.)
