If I set a connector version to `latest`, does Airbyte always check for a new `latest` image before each sync?

No, it will use the image cache in your server.

If I “reupdate” the connector version to `latest` when it was already set to latest, will it check for a new `latest` ?

“reupdate”? pull the latest from your registry?

Yea so if the destination image version is set to `latest`, and I call this api <https://airbyte-public-api-docs.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/rapidoc-api-docs.html#post-/v1/destination_definitions/update> to set the version to `latest` again, will the next sync pull a newer latest from the registry, or will it still use the cached version from before i called the api?

it uses whatever `docker run &lt;image-name&gt;:latest` returns. Since the default behavior is to not pull images ( I think ) then you would need to manually pull that image
