Update to 5.7.0.11768 but then prompts to upgrade firmware yet to an older version (5.6.0.17325)

[jpblock82]

Device in question is a VVX 601.  I manually upgrade to 5.7.0.11768 (using the web interface, via IP address) then login with a O365 account using the web sign-in option (via the device interface).  As soon as it's signed in, I get a prompt on the screen stating a "new" update is available.  Issue is, it's an older version (5.6.0.17325).

I've got 15 of the VVX 601 and each one has done this so far.  What would be ideal is that the update prompt NEVER appear on the device.  Oddly enough, if I allow it to "update" (to the older version) then the update prompt does not return.

Has anyone else had this same issue?
