Cannot install latest version of godot 4.0, instead get offered 3.5

I have 2 systems, one laptop and one desktop, both x86_64. When I try to install godot I'm getting different version offered on these 2 computers.

On my laptop I'm offered an older version

[user@hostname ~]$ sudo pacman -S godot
resolving dependencies...
looking for conflicting packages...

Packages (4) embree-3.13.5-2  libsquish-1.15-3  libwslay-1.1.1-4  godot-3.5.1-4

Total Download Size:    40,96 MiB
Total Installed Size:  113,23 MiB

:: Proceed with installation? [Y/n] 

The version on my PC is 4.0.2-3.

How can I troubleshoot this problem?

That already appears to be the case.

[user@hostname ~]$ sudo pacman -Syu

 core is up to date
 extra is up to date
 community is up to date
 multilib is up to date
:: Starting full system upgrade...
 there is nothing to do

Then you're probably on a very outdated mirror. Pick a better one.

Thank you, this was indeed the problem. I'm using an official mirror for my country, but it is not up to date. My other PC uses the same mirrrorlist, only in a different order. The mirror that is more up to date is hit first there.
