Find-PSResource IncludeDependencies incorrectly parses VersionRange

Prerequisites

Write a descriptive title.
Make sure you are able to repro it on the latest released version
Search the existing issues.

Steps to reproduce

Package is published with nuspec specifying

<dependencies>
  <dependency id="MyPackage" version="1.0.0" />
</dependencies>

Find-PSResource incorrectly sets the maximum version as 1.0.0 too, resulting in Save-PSResource not finding "MyPackage" with version 2.0.0.

This goes against MSFT documentation https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/nuget/concepts/package-versioning?tabs=semver20sort#version-ranges

Find-Module and Save-Module work correctly.

Tested with Azure and locally hosted https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/nuget/hosting-packages/nuget-server

(Find-PSResource -Name MyPackage -Repository LocalPSRepo -IncludeDependencies).Dependencies.VersionRange

Expected behavior

IsFloating             : False
MinVersion             : 1.0.0
MaxVersion             :  // Maybe this shouldn't exist at all
HasLowerBound          : True
IsMinInclusive         : True
HasUpperBound          : False
IsMaxInclusive         : False //Not sure on this
HasLowerAndUpperBounds : True
Float                  :
OriginalString         : 1.0.0

Actual behavior

IsFloating             : False
MinVersion             : 1.0.0
MaxVersion             : 1.0.0
HasLowerBound          : True
IsMinInclusive         : True
HasUpperBound          : True
IsMaxInclusive         : True

Float                  :

Hi ernger could you share the exact package name/ version / command you ran so we can repro more appropriately? Thanks!

I already did.
(Find-PSResource -Name MyPackage -Repository LocalPSRepo -IncludeDependencies).Dependencies.VersionRange

MyPackage in nuspec has

LocalPSRepo\Packages\MyMainPackage has 2 folders 1.0.0 and 2.0.0
Instead of PSResource finding the 2.0.0, it instead shows 1.0.0. This is incorrect behaviour.

Do you need the whole VS Project with repository?

The exact commands executed:

MyDependantPackage.nuspec:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<package xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/packaging/2013/05/nuspec.xsd">
  <metadata>
    <id>MyDependantPackage</id>
    <version>1.0.0</version>
    <authors>Author</authors>
    <requireLicenseAcceptance>false</requireLicenseAcceptance>
    <description>MyDependantPackage</description>
    <dependencies>
      <dependency id="MyPackage" version="1.0.0" />
    </dependencies>
  </metadata>
</package>

MyPackage.nuspec

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<package xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/packaging/2010/07/nuspec.xsd">
  <metadata>
    <id>MyPackage</id>

    <authors>Author</authors>
    <requireLicenseAcceptance>false</requireLicenseAcceptance>
    <description>MyPackage</description>
  </metadata>
</package>

and

<package xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/packaging/2010/07/nuspec.xsd">

    <id>MyPackage</id>
