So the real problem is that resuming a download either doesn't, or seems like it doesn't, check for a newer version and download that instead?
If the problem is that it really doesn't, that's a bug in the code.
If the problem is that it doesn't seem to, that's fixed by the current design where there is never a "Resume" button. Choosing "Download" or "Update" should resume the existing download if that download happens to be the latest version.
