MPD releases its point releases under various subdirectories, e.g.,
https://www.musicpd.org/download/mpd/0.22/
and
https://www.musicpd.org/download/mpd/0.23/ .
The subdirectory https://www.musicpd.org/download/mpd/0.22/ is hardcoded
in the watch file, which causes uscan to ignore the more recent 0.23.x
(and any other non-0.22) releases.

yes, this is on purpose.
In the past, upstream sometimes supported several stable branches, and
when Debian was about to freeze we have chosen to stay on the
tried-and-tested branch and leave the new-and-shiny for the next Debian
version. We generally become aware of new upstream versions by other
means than uscan, so d/watch's primary use is for running 'gbp
import-orig' and the upstream subdirectory reflects a conscious choice.
See for example https://salsa.debian.org/mpd-team/mpd/-/commit/6339411
about a week after the first 0.23 release.
