Git package upgrade to latest using ansible

I am trying to upgrade git package to latest version on five of my ubuntu-18.04 systems using ansible playbook. My ansible code as follows,

    ---
    - hosts: gitservers
      tasks:
        - name: Update APT package manager repositories cache
          become: true
          apt:
            update_cache: yes
    
        - name: Install Git Package
          become: true
          apt:
            name: git
            state: latest
            update_cache: yes

Last few lines of output:-

TASK [Install Git Package] ******************************************************************************************************
ok: [50.51.52.24]
ok: [50.51.52.23]
ok: [50.51.52.22]
ok: [50.51.52.25]
changed: [50.51.52.21]

PLAY RECAP ***********************************************************************************************************************
50.51.52.21                : ok=3    changed=2    unreachable=0    failed=0    skipped=0    rescued=0    ignored=0
50.51.52.22                : ok=3    changed=1    unreachable=0    failed=0    skipped=0    rescued=0    ignored=0
50.51.52.23                : ok=3    changed=1    unreachable=0    failed=0    skipped=0    rescued=0    ignored=0
50.51.52.24                : ok=3    changed=1    unreachable=0    failed=0    skipped=0    rescued=0    ignored=0
50.51.52.25                : ok=3    changed=1    unreachable=0    failed=0    skipped=0    rescued=0    ignored=0

It has upgraded git package only on 50.51.52.21 and i can see below given latest version.

# git --version
git version 2.31.1

However for remaining systems still have older version of git ( 2.17.1). I am not sure what is wrong in this. Can someone provide me pointers to solve this issue?

Manually on 50.51.52.22system with below commands have upgraded successfully to git version 2.31.1

add-apt-repository ppa:git-core/ppa -y
apt-get update
apt-get install git -y

Ansible executes the same code, across all the inventory hosts. You should start with what's different on 50.51.52.21. It probably has a different repo that provides git.

Validate that with grep ^ /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/* | grep git (on the working node), it will list all the installed repositories.

Add a task to validate the git repository is installed on your ubuntu server.

- apt_repository:
    repo: 'ppa:git-core/ppa'
    state: present

This should be set as the first task, then run the apt update and ultimately install git task.
