It appears that they are not populating the version number consistently across each version in their json file, the LTR (Long Term Release) version is missing, instead it returns "", I'm unsure if this is a transient issue or a change to the way they will populate this going forward?

Looking at the current json file which Evergreen reads (https://version.qgis.org/version.json), I think it should be possible for the Evergreen code to programatically construct the version number from the major, minor and patch contents for each release:
"latest":
"major":3,
"minor":40,
"patch":0
i.e: 3.40.0

"ltr":
"major":3,
"minor":34,
"patch":12
i.e: 3.34.12

"dev":
"major":3,
"minor":41,
"patch":0
i.e: 3.41.0
