I made multiple changes:
- the link has a role="button" to make it clear that it's meant to be
clicked
- the link is now focusable (i.e. I can use TAB to focus it, and then
I can press Enter to activate it and I can see the content being
toggled)
Is it better?

I documented myself and I added a few role attributes that should help
the screen reader to build a structure of the webpage. Is that the
case?

Basically the situation of that "versioned links" panel should be the same
than for the "toggle chevron" embedded in the action needed panel. They
are focusable with TAB and they are normal links that can be used as link.
The span tags that add an image with CSS magic are tagged with role="img"
and they should be recognized as images.
I'm not quite sure how I can reproduce the way you navigate within a web
page... because it's hard for me to try to help you when I'm not able to
check the impact of my changes. Putting Samuel Thibault in copy as he
might be able to provide some useful input.
Cheers,
