The App Store doesn't care if you've downloaded it before, and it doesn't care 
if you've already installed it. What it does care about is if the installer is 
already on your Mac somewhere, and it's pretty aggressive about looking in all 
of your mounted volumes.

So search thoroughly for any existing copy of the "Install macOS Sierra.app" 
bundle and move it offline. That's the only way to change the App Store button 
from "Downloaded" to "Install" or "Download".

And it's still available in the main store for download:
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/macos-sierra/id1127487414

I don't see it in my Purchased tab today, which suggests it doesn't show up 
there until its replacement gets posted; all the older versions are there for 
me.
