Suppose I am having plugin version 4.0.3 in the source environment and version 4.0.5 in the target environment.
How can I upgrade the plug-in version from 4.0.3 to 4.0.5 without affecting the objects where it is used?

If I understand correctly, you want to update the plugin version in your environment, but you want your objects to remain on the older 4.0.3 plugin version?
In other words I think the question is, if we delete a plugin and install a new version, then will the existing objects have to be updated manually or will they pick the new version on their own?
