Well, in maven deps it work like it: the "closer" it is, it "wins".
For example, if you have guice as dependency, whether you declare direct
dependency on guava before or after guice, it will "win".
But in case of depMgr this is NOT the case, and is counter intuitive. It will
work ONLY if you declare depMgt entry BEFORE.

> Key: MNG-7906
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-7906
> Project: Maven
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Dependencies
> Reporter: Tamas Cservenak
> Priority: Blocker
> Fix For: 4.0.x-candidate
>
>
> This affects all released Maven versions so far.
> Problem reproducer: https://github.com/cstamas/MNG-7852 (repo name is wrong,
> obviously).
> In short: unlike with dependencies, where you CAN override some "deep
> transitive" dependency by re-declaring it directly as 1st level dependency in
> POM, for depMgt import this does not work, actually, it works quite the
> opposite ("first comes, wins"). Moreover, Maven remains silent about this, as
> reproducer shows, and all of this goes unnoticed.
> Solution: at least depMgt import should make "the maven way", maybe not by
> default (to not break existing builds) but configurable. Problem is solved if
> in reproducer:
> - with fix enabled, junit 5.9.3 is used, AND
> - with fix disabled, Maven yells about ignored depMgt import
