When updating a resource, dependent resources are also updated, even when unnecessary

[ildjarnisdead]

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

Update-PSResource -verbose -scope AllUsers

In my case, Az.Network was upgraded from 7.19.1 to 7.20.0.
Az.Network has a dependency of Az.Accounts.
In the verbose log you can see that Az.Accounts 5.3.0 is installed as well, even though this version was already present.

Expected behavior

Only the modules that need an upgrade are upgraded

Actual behavior

Dependent modules are also upgraded, even if the new version is the same as the old version.
