Please tell us more about your question or problem

I have a library that I publish as maven artefact and want to consume it in another maven project as dependency.
The versioning is as follows:
1.x, 1.x.1, 1.x.2....
Usually, we start with 1.x and then want to upgrade to 1.x.1 and so on as soon as it's available.
It seems that Renovate suggests and performs the update to e.g. 1.x.2 once we set 1.x.1 manually.
But Renovate doesn't suggest 1.x to 1.x.1.

What are our options here?
Does publishing 1.x.0 resolve this issue?

Logs (if relevant)

No response

Renovate's Maven versioning should support this: 1.x.1 sorts greater than 1.x, so this does not look like a versioning limitation by itself.

Could you share the relevant Renovate config/packageRules and debug logs for this dependency lookup? I think it may be something not related to the versioning machinery.

This response was from me, sorry for the second one — it was my clanker 😅

Thanks for your help.
Could it be that the issue is that we only allow patch updates on this branch?

{
      "matchBaseBranches": [
        "<my-branch1>"
      ],
      "matchUpdateTypes": [
        "minor",
        "major"
      ],
      "enabled": false
    },
}
