Looks to me like you're actually building a dict of dicts, rather than a 
simple list. For example, this works for me:

---
- hosts: localhost
  vars:
    deploy:
        api:
          app:        v2.41.0
          develop:    v0.23.2
          tool:       v0.24.0
          consumers:  v0.16.0
          data:       v0.57.2
          bus:        eventbus-v1.1.2

  tasks:
    - include: tasks/update-api.yml
      when: "'api' in deploy.keys()"

-- or have I misunderstood what you're trying to do?
