I searched issues in this repository and couldn't find such bug/problem
I Google'd a solution and I couldn't find it
I searched on StackOverflow for a solution and I couldn't find it
I read the README.md file of the plugin
I'm using the latest version of the plugin
All dependencies are up to date with flutter pub upgrade
I did a flutter clean
I tried running the example project

This is definitely not documented, but the plugin works by obtaining the information from the version.json stored where the app is running from. So it depends on whatever is in that version.json file.
The source of the problem I think is the nature of the web implementation, that is dependent of an external resource that needs to be loaded with a fetch request (GET version.json) and as all web resources, it has its own cache.
You can remove the buster cache, but then you will depend of the browser cache invalidation. Your main.dart.js and your version.json can be invalidated in different moments, so you will be in the same situation.
And this only thinking in the browser cache invalidation, but it could be other cache layers, like for example an AWS CloudFront cache invalidation layer, or others.
It is a complicated situation, to be honest.
We could add a new parameter to opt out the cache buster. Maybe that could mitigate the issue, but in my view, it will be there yet, just happening sometimes, instead always.
Or, we could implement a solution no dependent of the version.json file. For example, in the web build process of the app, the package could inject the same information that we can find in the version.json file in a dart file. In that way, you can know exactly which version of the app you are seeing in your browser, because the information it is in the same main.dart.js of your app.
Of course, this is just a theoretical solution and I don't know if it could be implemented even.
