I've check this with Chipaca, there is no plan to change anything in
snapd wrt this bug on the following basis: (a) user can look at the
channel map to know what's in stable, and (b) store can change what's
returned outside the channel map, which snapd will forward on.

** Changed in: snapd
       Status: New => Won't Fix

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  GNOME Software can show incorrect version of snap that will be installed on details page.

  [Test Case]
  1. Open GNOME Software. Ensure blender or spotify snap is not installed.
  2. Select blender or spotify  snap (tried 28-04-2018, may change if store versions are changed)

  Expected result:
  Version label shows version to be installed (stable channel by default)

  Observed result:
  Version label shows most recently uploaded version, i.e. from the edge channel. This is not the version that will be installed when clicking install.

  [Regression Potential]
  The logic around choosing which version value to show was changed. Could create other bugs with this data.

  Orignial text:

  Ubuntu Software, when showing metadata about a snap package, is most
  of the time, likely to get information which is misleading, since it
  shows info from the *most recently* uploaded snap, regardless of which
  channel the snap was uploaded to.

  An example of this is to search for blender, and see that the version
  shows the edge channel - 2.80-4de142e0b7b and not the stable channel -
  2.79.

  After actually installing the application, the correct metadata is
  shown.

  exposed-in-some-situations/5163 for more details.
