Dependabot is NOT creating pull requests for parent pom version.

We are using maven 3.X as package manager. Our project uses a parent pom version as below

 <parent>
     <groupId></groupId>
     <artifactId>xxxxx-base-java-webapp</artifactId>
     <version>2022.1.0</version>
     <type>pom</type>
</parent>

We have an several next versions of parent poms in nexus repository, but dependabot thinks an update is not needed. However it does work and create Pull requests for regular dependencies specified with

<dependencies>
</dependencies>

dependabot.yml

    version: 2
    updates:
    - package-ecosystem: maven
      directory: "/xxxx"
      target-branch: "develop"
      open-pull-requests-limit: 10
