Actually, even though grabbing the artifact from the Maven repository seems like a good idea, I think it's more coherent that you use the artifact from the upstream job in order to guarantee that the artifact is the one being processed at the current pipeline. Another build might be run in the middle, or someone could deploy to the repository the artifact in the middle of the process, and then you would be picking an artifact not produced by the pipeline. So, for consistency it's best to always use data and artifacts produced by the pipeline itself.
