When Brave is re-installed with the same binary, the `Relaunch` button is shown in brave://settings/help although there is no update available

See original GitHub issue

Description

As part of the testing of Omaha update to 1.3.36.111, tested install and re-install with same version. During first install, brave://settings/help page shows correct version (without update trigger). However, after re-install of the same binary, brave://settings/help page shows update trigger with Relaunch button. Fidler logs shows same omaha updater version 1.3.36.111 in both install and re-install. Same issue with current public release 1.40.105 Chromium: 103.0.5060.53 which has older Omaha version, 1.3.361.113.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Download BraveBrowserStandaloneBetaSetup.exe and install standalone binary (Beta v1.41.74 (Chromium 103.0.5060.53))
  2. Go to brave://settings/help
  3. Page renders Brave is up to date message (No update trigger)
  4. Re-install same binary
  5. Go to brave://settings/help

Actual result:

Nearly up to date! message shows with Relaunch button on the second install

@mkarolin @simonhong: It’s an upstream bug, shall we keep this bug open until chrome fixes the issue? defer to @rebron to take the decision
