 As reported on slack, there was an issue where a new version of a plugin
 was released, but it didn't show up in  the update checks, despite the new
 version showing on wordpress.org/plugins.

 It turned out that the cause was the `update_source` table getting out of
 sync for the plugin. That seems to be a race condition in caches and when
 the update job is run mid way through a new version of a plugin being
 released.

 I'm going to add a check which validates that the `version` field is in
 sync, and not just the dates/disabled status.
