 Description   

Description

Cloud Manager Snapshots are done with latest minor version is not mentioned.

By design, Cloud Manager Backup will use the latest available minor release to build a backup snapshot.
Example: 4.0.15 and 4.0.20 are minor releases of the major release version 4.0. The snapshots of a 4.0.15 backup will show in the UI as 4.0.20

For backups, the intention is to use the latest minor release available because this version should have the latest fixes and improvements among all the minor release versions.

All minor release versions are guaranteed to be compatible. Therefore, one will be able to use the snapshots built with 4.0.20 to restore to a 4.0.15 instance, if desired.

This is not mentioned in the documentation.
If included I think it should go on https://docs.cloudmanager.mongodb.com/tutorial/enable-backup/

Unless we want to update the latest version in the example every minor release I think we should skip the example and just leave the:
“Cloud Manager builds snapshots using the latest minor version of MongoDB.”
part.
