That's normal behaviour per [1]. If you look closely, it is not just
bullseye! Older minor releases are still available in the apt-archive
repository at [2].

On occasion, you will find older versions of packages still available in
the primary repository, but these are usually for distributions that are
beyond the public EOL date (e.g., Ubuntu 18.04). This is because while the
distribution itself has yet to be retired from the repository, no newer
packages have been built. In due course, these packages will eventually be
removed, and will only be available thereafter in the aforementioned
apt-archive repository.
