Currently the time interval filtered downloads of advisories are using the publish date.
This should be replaced by using the last update time as this is a more recent and
better suited for delta downloads.
Even years old advisories may fetch later updates.
The use case is:
A security person wants to download only the updated advisories since the last download without missing any.
Because the elder versions of advisories have already be downloaded, I set up a regular job with an overlap in the time interval to be sure to catch all updates. So I save time and bandwidth.
Example:
Run the downloader every 24 hours trying to get advisories that have been updated in the last 25 hours or 24 hours and 10 minutes aka 2050 minutes to cater for some clock differences and delays in publication or starting the job.

Should be easy fixable by changing Published to Updated https://github.com/csaf-poc/csaf_distribution/blob/d4ef21531a68d19477b894a7f1b56226ea8997c6/csaf/advisories.go#L319
One might have a look at the fallback to
