Versioning tags release and latest are not updated on publish

[pomadchin]

maven-metadata.xml versioning.release and versioning.latest tags are not updated:

<metadata>
  <groupId>com.azavea.geotrellis</groupId>
  <artifactId>gdal-warp-bindings</artifactId>
  <versioning>
    <latest>33.567d940</latest>
    <release>33.567d940</release>
...

The task is to investigate what is wrong with it, mb nexus-staging-maven-plugin is outdated and we need to update it up to smth more recent.

I also updated the plugin version up to 1.6.8 so it could probably help (needs to be verified though).

The thing to try as well is to switch autoReleaseAfterClose to true.
