WMS App Policy Not Applying Wyse Easy Setup

I like using Wyse Easy Setup for Windows client.  However, my Windows clients come with WDA version less than version 14 needed for Wyse Easy Setup install.  In the past I overcame this by ensuring WDA is installed at the group configuration level, and then placed Wyse Easy Setup  in an advanced policy at the default group level.  I was told that group level app policy take precedent over higher tier policies, which ensures WDA installs before Wyse Easy setup. Recently this setup stopped working.  Any ideas why this would just stop working?

I am thinking to build an image with WDA 14+, but I prefer the bolt on method I leverage for Linux and ThinOS clients
