What You Are Seeing?
The latest version of vscode.install is 1.90.0, but vscode is still on 1.89.1 as the 1.90.0 release is still in moderation. This seems to cause weird behaviour when upgrading, as 1.89.1 is installed first, then 1.90.0 is attempted and fails, and at that point 1.89.0 rather than 1.89.1 is chosen instead. This means I was actually downgraded as a result of the "upgrade", having originally started on 1.89.1.
What is Expected?
I should be kept on version 1.89.1 as the latest release with matching meta/install packages.
How Did You Get This To Happen?
choco upgrade all, having started on vscode 1.89.1 and vscode.install 1.89.1, resulted in vscode 1.89.0 and vscode.install 1.89.0. Subsequent upgrade attempts stay at these version.

Additional Context
There seems to be two issues here: the packages themselves being mismatched, but also the downgrade from the latest meta package (for which the install package is available) to the one before.
I have the same bug on servers with a newly upgraded chocolatey client.

So, it looks like there are a few things going on here, and I'm going to see if I can lay them out before asking for some more files.
@Terrance, in looking at the logs, it looks like you actually started at 1.89.0 of both vscode and vscode.install. It then detected 1.89.1 of vscode, and installed that version for both vscode and vscode.install. It then went looking for an upgrade to vscode.install, and noted that it had an upgrade. It then determined that the dependency resolution for vscode couldn't be resolved for 1.90.0, so it asked Chocolatey Community Repository for the verisons of vscode that were available. For whatever reason, Chocolatey Community Repository or Chocolatey CLI did not provide back 1.89.1 as an available version, so Chocolatey CLI determined that it needed to install version 1.89.0, and it ensured both vscode and vscode.install were available at that version, and installed it. This is not the expected behaviour for any part of this.
I am able to readily reproduce the behaviour where an install that resolves a dependency to a downgrade version will downgrade to that version, which it should not do. The part I'm not able to readily reproduce is where it seems that Chocolatey Community Repository is providing different results. This part feels like a caching issue, and may be unable to be reproduced at the moment, but if we could try:
Going off of the output that @Outek provided which appears to possibly show the discrepency in what's reported, could you run the following commands as administrator (this will rule out any user vs system ChocolateyHttpCache differences and create a zip file of the contents of C:\ProgramData\ChocolateyHttpCache for each search command? You may want to inspect the contents of the ChocolateyHttpCache directory before providing it as it may contain sensitive information.
choco cache remove
choco search vscode --exact
choco cache remove
choco search vscode --exact --pre
choco cache remove
choco search vscode --exact --all
Hoping that there is an output of different versions that could help us identify the source of the issue.
Yes, I believe I originally started at 1.89.0, but the downgrade was more readily reproducible at the time by forcing an install of 1.89.1 first, then requesting an upgrade (which would result in a downgrade to 1.89.0).
I suspect it may be too late to get some meaningful output (I have since updated to 1.91.0 which is the current stable version, and there are no pending releases in Chocolatey), but here you go:
