I guess (from my experience) that if the version number of the
upstream package is the same is the installed version, then apt must
check something else instead (perhaps the installed-size and/or
MD5SUM?). If this differs, then the package is re-installed.
This is often what I want, eg. if I modify a package to fix a minor
bug, and upload it to master, but forget to install the latest version
myself.
