Steps to reproduce:

If I clear history and download the PDF again I get the newest version!

It's unclear to me how to reproduce the problem from the steps provided above.
When I download the file for the second time, the "Downloads" list two entries. The latest entry offers the latest version of the file.
Do you have a different experience?

Weird, can't reproduce it today! Yesterday it happened every time! I have turned off computer and restarted since then! Tried it numerous times today and it works OK. Sorry for sending you on a wild goose chase.
I was not able to reproduce this. I tested it on Windows 10 64bit with Firefox release 68.0.1
Opened these pdfs:
www.africau.edu/images/default/sample.pdf
https://gahp.net/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/sample.pdf
Saved them to my hard drive, then opened each file downloaded and i saw the different documents.
Since now it works for you i will mark this as resolved.
If the issue is still reproducible in the future, feel free to reopen the bug with more information
Regards
Pablo
