Since when has it been failing?

They started failing when we modified upgrade tests. Previously there was only the following tests:

• 1.5 -> main
• 1.6 -> main
• 1.7 -> main etc, and they were all running on the main branch.

Now we have upgrade for each supported branch:

• Main Branch: 1.6 -> main, 1.7 -> main
• 1.7 Branch: 1.6 -> 1.7, 1.5 -> 1.7
• 1.6 Branch: 1.5 -> 1.6

After adding the above tests we start seeing issues with the ironic and bmo versions. Due to which tests started failing

PR for fix on the main branch is merged: https://github.com/metal3-io/cluster-api-provider-metal3/pull/1596 , it needs to be cherry-picked for previous branches. I am working on it.
