You should be able to download the latest version of the file using default download file command

import boto3
import botocore

BUCKET_NAME = 'mytestbucket'
KEY = 'fileinbucket.txt'

s3 = boto3.resource('s3')

try:
    s3.Bucket(BUCKET_NAME).download_file(KEY, 'downloadname.txt')
except botocore.exceptions.ClientError as e:
    if e.response['Error']['Code'] == "404":
        print("The object does not exist.")
    else:
        raise

Reference link

To get the last modified or uploaded file you can use the following

s3 = boto3.resource('s3')
my_bucket = s3.Bucket('myBucket')
unsorted = []
for file in my_bucket.objects.filter():
   unsorted.append(file)

files = [obj.key for obj in sorted(unsorted, key=get_last_modified, 
    reverse=True)][0:9]

As answer in this reference link states, its not the optimal but it works.
