Gradle will consider _all_ requested versions, wherever they appear in the dependency graph.
Out of these versions, it will select the _highest_ one. More information on version ordering
<<single_versions#version_ordering,here>>.

As you have seen, Gradle supports a concept of <<rich_versions.adoc#rich-version-constraints,rich version declaration>>, so what is the highest version depends on the way versions were declared:

// and the specified order overwrites any previously specified order for this group
func (s *Scheme) SetVersionPriority(versions ...schema.GroupVersion) error {
	groups := sets.String{}
	order := []string{}
	for _, version := range versions {
		if len(version.Version) == 0 || version.Version == APIVersionInternal {

			list, err := repo.Versions(ctx, tt.prefix)
			if err != nil {
				t.Fatalf("Versions(%q): %v", tt.prefix, err)
			}
			if !reflect.DeepEqual(list.List, tt.versions) {
				t.Fatalf("Versions(%q):\nhave %v\nwant %v", tt.prefix, list, tt.versions)
			}
		})
	}
