I could not find such clause in the MAS guidelines, see http://localmedia.static2.adqic.com/uploads/files/a53729adaa.pdf . But It may be not the latest version, apparently official access is restricted for non-paying devs at apple.com.
One of the MAS' purposes is that you automatically gets notified by the AppStore.app itself if an update for installed programs is available, basically a repo. Wouldn't the most obvious solution be to submit v1.11 to the MAS then. If we can't update the current 1.9.2 in the MAS version for whatever reasons (legal?), what is the point of providing an outdated version to the MAS users anyway?
