ŠIf you enabled Check Main Firmware Version the current firmware level is compared with that of the upgrade file. If the current version is equal to or higher than the upgrade version, a popup message appears, to inform you of the situation and stops the upgrade procedure.

ŠIf you didn't enable Check Main Firmware Version, the upgrade file is installed without checking what its level is.
