tlmgr --help is working for me ...

In the help there is an interesting remark :

    If the package on the server is older than the package already installed
    (e.g., if the selected mirror is out of date), "tlmgr" does not
    downgrade. Also, packages for uninstalled platforms are not installed.


So I think tlmgr is not downgrading to specific releases;
by design I suspect install-tl and tlmgr will always install the latest release.
