I doubt it is intentional behavior. You didn't mention which version of maven are you using, or maven-dependency-plugin - like with any OSS project, latest maven is the greatest, and configure plugin version in pluginManagement section. You also didn't provide snapshots repository definition snippet - maybe you're affected by default daily updatePolicy for snapshots; configure "always" or use -U switch when building.
