What you expected to see, versus what you actually saw

I have redis~=5.1 set in my pyproject.toml, and dependabot suggests changing that to redis~=5.2 to "permit the latest version". I didn't expect to receive this PR as the version dependabot suggests is already permitted, and it is in fact the one installed according to poetry.lock. This PR seems redundant to me.
