Normal Description of problem:
oc-mirror is mirroring all versions of the ansible-automation-platform-operator, regardless of the value specified in minVersion
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
4.19.9
How reproducible:
100 %
Steps to Reproduce:
1- Try mirroring the ansible-automation-platform-operator by setting minVersion to the latest version available in the channel. You’ll notice that it mirrors around 470 images, even though that single version should only require a little over 20 images. This clearly indicates that it’s mirroring all available versions.

2- When no minVersion is specified and only the channel is provided, it mirrors around 23 images for the same version 2.5.0+0.1755835086, since that version is the channel head.

3- It seems this issue only affects the ansible-automation-platform-operator, because when I try the same with another operator, it respects the minVersion setting. For example, see the case with the openshift-gitops-operator below.

Actual results:
minVersion not respecting for ansible-automation-platform-operator, instead its mirroring all the versions
Expected results:
minVersion should respect for ansible-automation-platform-operator
Additional info:
tried with latest 4.19.9 oc-mirror binary
