chore: re-enable using current pkg versions for api compat checks

This was originally added in commit
3dd21b9.

However, the script fails during a bump build when the package version
in lerna.json is ahead of the latest published in NPM. This was worked
around by turning this feature off -
09a1f33.

Re-enable this feature and handle version in lerna.json may be ahead of
NPM.
