Comment:

 Yeah I also noticed that those two functions have diverged. I don't know
 if it's worth spending time to bring them back inline.

 I've been testing this change and I concur that the preferred behaviour is
 to always push the current full list of plugin data into the `changed`
 property otherwise it would go stale from one check to another. Populating
 this property is correctly preventing the unnecessary update check from
 being triggered on the Plugins screen when the plugin update transient is
 otherwise up to date and doesn't require a refresh.
