Let say in composer.json you have

"drupal/core-recommended": "^9.2"  

You're attempting to run

composer update "drupal/core-*" --with-all-dependencies

...to update to the latest 9.2.x version. Yet instead you are finding 9.3.6 installed.

How do you use caret version constraint for core-recommended?  Caret means "any compatible version" which as of today is version 9.3.  However, if you want to stay on 9.2 you use a 9.2.* version constraint.

Minor updates only introduce backwards-compatible new features.
