.NET CLI installing SDK via global.json file

Question

When using the --jsonfile flag of the [dotnet-install script]1 I am getting some unexpected behavior with the rollForward property set to latestFeature

My global.json file referenced:

{
    "sdk": {
        "version": "6.0.416",
        "rollForward": "latestFeature"
    }
}

as of today (11/29/2023), there exists a newer version 6.0.417 of the SDK which was released November 14, 2023. My expectation based on the similar example provided in the the documentation, is that with the rollForward property set to latestFeature, I should get 6.0.417 installed in my CI environment with the above global.json file - however, I'm getting the exact version (6.0.416) that is specified in the global.json file.

Documentation example indicates:

"The following example shows how to use the latest feature band and patch version installed of a specific major and minor version. The JSON shown disallows any SDK version earlier than 3.1.102 and allows 3.1.102 or any later 3.1.xxx version, such as 3.1.103 or 3.1.200."

{
  "sdk": {
    "version": "3.1.102",
    "rollForward": "latestFeature"
  }
}

CI environment output:
