I guess this is the reason why you saw the update previously... However,
I am also not able to fully reconstruct the events as neither the old
nor the new livecheck against pypi seems to know about version 1.2 at all.

Apparently 1.2 was already tagged in git. Maybe you got your update
notification from somewhere else (watching the git repo or something
similar)?

As far as I know, the distfiles are only fetched with a daily cronjob,
that may take a while. Of course that only happened after you committed
the update to 1.2.

This situation is already handled differently on trunk:
https://trac.macports.org/changeset/127797

$ port livecheck py-paho-mqtt
Error: livecheck failed for py-paho-mqtt: extracted version '1.1' is
older than livecheck.version '1.2'
