One quick way:
sboupgrade -fz $(ls /var/log/packages/*_SBo | cut -d'/' -f5 | rev | cut -d- -f4- | rev)

But as you said, at present sbotools doesn't do any smart version checking, so it will offer version downgrades for things you've manually updated. That would be a nice patch for sbotools actually (no downgrades by default).

I'm not sure what the full solution could be if you have a mix of custom build stuff.
