review: do not re-promote waiting series for already-known versions

When a newer version of a series fails to apply and the maintainer
puts the series back into waiting, the next update cycle would
immediately wake it up again because the (broken) version is still
newer than the checked-out revision. Fix this by comparing discovered
versions against what was already known in the revisions database
before this update cycle, rather than against the applied revision.

This means a waiting series is only promoted when a genuinely new
version appears — one that was not already recorded in the database.
