No, in my repository.xml file, SearchIndex is a direct child of Workspace

yes, that's definitively the reason. the SearchIndex child of the Workspace
element is responsible for indexing workspace contents (everything except
/jcr:system), while the SearchIndex child of the Repository element is
responsible for indexing repository wide contents (everything under /jcr:system).
If the SearchIndex chlild of the Repository element is missing then the version
storage is not indexed and a query will never return results from the version
storage.
Just add a SearchIndex and the very end of your repository.xml and restart:
<Repository>
......
<!--
Search index for content that is shared repository wide
(/jcr:system tree, contains mainly versions)
-->
<SearchIndex class="org.apache.jackrabbit.core.query.lucene.SearchIndex">
<param name="path" value="${rep.home}/repository/index"/>
</SearchIndex>
</Repository>
