Extension page in VS Code shows the latest fetched README version, not the installed one

[iliazeus]

It can be very confusing if, for example, the README contains links to documentation for a specific extension version. Or describes features that are present only in the newer version.

Version: 1.51.1
Commit: e5a624b788d92b8d34d1392e4c4d9789406efe8f
Date: 2020-11-10T23:31:29.624Z
Electron: 9.3.3
Chrome: 83.0.4103.122
Node.js: 12.14.1
V8: 8.3.110.13-electron.0
OS: Linux x64 5.6.0-1-amd64

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Disable automatic extension updates
2. Install a non-latest extension version (from a .vsix file or using Install Another Version...)
3. Allow VS Code to fetch extension updates (e.g. close and reopen it)
4. Navigate to the extension page in the Extensions view; it will show the README from the latest (fetched) version.

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: N/A
