Description:
I've noted that web-based installer of 5.6.22 (mysql-installer-web-community-5.6.22.0.msi) suggests to upgrade my 5.6.x instances to 5.6.21 only. When I try to upgrade I end up with 5.6.21 (tested on 64-bit Windows XP and Windows 7 so far).

How to repeat:
On a system with older 5.6.x (5.6.19 for example) try to download and use recent web-installer:

mysql-installer-web-community-5.6.22.0.msi

(last time I tried URL was http://cdn.mysql.com/Downloads/MySQLInstaller/mysql-installer-web-community-5.6.22.0.msi)

It find out existing older 5.6.x instance and suggests to upgrade it to 5.6.21, while I expect to upgrade to 5.6.22.

Suggested fix:
Make sure web installer is aware of recent available version - if it has 5.6.22 in it's URL, it must suggest upgrade at least to 5.6.22 :)

I wonder if it is products.xml is outdated again ... I haven't checked recent installers.
See http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=72171 (which is closed now!).

As I commented in the report that Shane linked to, I think we must all understand and accept that "MySQL Installer" and "Oracle lottery" are just synonyms.

I've downloaded the installer and though the msi is labeled 5.6.22 the latest available 5.6 series server that comes within the catalog is 5.6.21.
In that case, this was no bug and it was only a confusion due to the file names: http://bugs.mysql.com/file.php?id=22231&bug_id=75399
Probably the server 5.6.22 was promoted after the installer was released and that's why the manifest was not updated .
Currently, this should not be a problem anymore as displayed in the following screenshot:
