Answer 1

This is because Maven never tries to figure out whether a release has changed

That's in my opinion not the basic reason. The reason is to have reliable builds in the future. You define the versions in your pom and that's it. If someone would remove artifacts from maven central or become worse changing an existing artifact you can't be sure that your build will be working in the future...or an older build would work.

The version number is up to you...i would suggest to use 3.6.2.1.
