Drupal 9.5.11 - Composer says 3.4 is outdated but after an update it isn't updated to 3.5

I think the problem has also something to do with this issue ✨ Update to file_mdm version 3 dependency Active .
I'm still using 2.6 if drupal/file_mdm and not 3.0. This 2.6 version is also compatible with D9.

This issue may be closed because I think I found the error or misunderstanding.

When I use the outdated command, composer says the module has a new minor version available.
It is listed in red to mark it as minor version update.

When I then use the prohibits command on this new version like this:

composer prohibits drupal/image_effects 3.5.0
drupal/image_effects 3.5.0 requires drupal/core (^10.1)
drupal/recommended-project - does not require drupal/core (but 9.5.11 is installed)
drupal/image_effects 3.5.0 requires drupal/file_mdm (^3)
drupal/recommended-project - does not require drupal/file_mdm (but 2.6.0 is installed)

it can only be updated if I install Drupal 10.1 and drupal/file_mdm (^3) first.

This is in my opinion a major update because I have to install other things first before I can do an update of this module.
Therefor, it should logically better to make the new version a "major" version - like 4.0 in stead of 3.5. Then I should not have the reaction that this module could be updated with the update command.

Any way, it works of course on Drupal 10 and it doesn't do nothing wrong on Drupal 9 except not updating.

Therefor this issue may be closed by an admin.
