** Description changed:

+ [Impact]
+ GNOME Software can show incorrect version of snap that will be installed on 
details page.
+ 
+ [Test Case]
+ 1. Open GNOME Software
+ 2. Select blender snap (tried 28-04-2018, may change if store versions are 
changed)
+ 
+ Expected result:
+ Version label shows version to be installed (stable channel by default)
+ 
+ Observed result:
+ Version label shows most recently uploaded version, i.e. from the edge 
channel. This is not the version that will be installed when clicking install.
+ 
+ [Regression Potential]
+ The logic around choosing which version value to show was changed. Could 
create other bugs with this data.
+ 
+ Orignial text:
+ 
  Ubuntu Software, when showing metadata about a snap package, is most of
  the time, likely to get information which is misleading, since it shows
  info from the *most recently* uploaded snap, regardless of which channel
  the snap was uploaded to.
  
  An example of this is to search for blender, and see that the version
  shows the edge channel - 2.80-4de142e0b7b and not the stable channel -
  2.79.
  
  After actually installing the application, the correct metadata is
  shown.
