Restricting package dependencies in .nuspec (ex. '< 0.7' not working)

I have two c# libraries:

main-library
dependency-library (released in version 0.6 and 0.7)

The main-library has the following defined in .nuspec:

<dependency id="dependency-library" version="[0.6,0.7)"/>

According to documentation for Nuget Versioning this should restrict the dependency-library to version 0.6. Inspecting the Nuget.org listing gives the following:

dependency-library (>= 0.6 && < 0.7.0)

Exactly as expected. Still, Visual Studio suggests to update dependency-library to 0.7, and does so without hesitation. I once managed to get an error in a similar situation, giving a message saying that package restrictions stops me from doing an update, whick is what I want. Am I missing something here?

How are you updating it? What version of Visual Studio are you using? – Matt Ward Aug 15 '16 at 08:07
@MattWard, I am updating through Nuget package installer (right click, _Manage Nuget Packages_), using Visual Studio Professional 2015. – Aleksander Sjåfjell Aug 16 '16 at 06:36
Sounds like a NuGet v3 bug. I would report it at https://github.com/nuget/home/issues – Matt Ward Aug 16 '16 at 08:09
It seems a bit strange that such an important feature has a bug like this. Surely, there must be something I am doing wrong? – Aleksander Sjåfjell Aug 16 '16 at 10:49
