Even though you are requesting the latest updates to be applied in your dockerfile, docker will cache that layer instead of re-running the check for latest update. To prevent this from happening, you will have to instruct docker to not cache anything.

This series aims to go-over, in detail, the Microsoft Identity Platform and how the underlying components work to create secure authorization and authentication systems.
