Renovate: PR for bump on `next` tag

Describe the bug
First off - we love renovate, and I want to say THANK YOU for building such a lovely thing. We're getting a PR for yargs over here:
https://github.com/googleapis/gapic-generator-typescript/pull/123

The problem is, version 15 does not have the latest tag on npm - it's still on 14.x:
https://www.npmjs.com/package/yargs

As far as I can tell, we're not touching the respectLatest config options, though our config is here if interested:
https://github.com/googleapis/gapic-generator-typescript/blob/master/renovate.json

We would prefer to not have the PRs for non-latest versions, and it seems like there's either a bug or we're holding it wrong :)

was about to open this same issue, I'm seeing the same behavior here:

Thanks for the heads-up. I'll fork and debug to see what's got the logic twisted.

[rarkins]

I think I can guess what might be going wrong without a debug. The existing "yargs": "^14.2.0" gets resolved (incorrectly) to 14.2.1, although latest is actually 14.2.0. Renovate then thinks "14.2.1 is past latest so I bet these this project loves to be on the cutting edge" and proposes v15 too. I'll see if there's any quick fix for that.

[rarkins]

Confirmed that was the case. A fix is in #4801
