Bug 2010540

Description of problem: For multiple resources that are managed by HCO, on updating them (e.g. add a label), they get reconciled and actual resource shows correct labels and metadata.resourceversion gets updated. However, HCO.status.relatedObjects continues to show the old resourceVersion associated with that resource

Kind: ConsoleQuickStart, name: create-rhel-vm
Kind: ConsoleQuickStart, name: import-vmware-vm
Kind: ConfigMap, name: grafana-dashboard-kubevirt-top-consumers

Steps to Reproduce:
1. For any resource using kubectl edit command add  a label and save the same
2. Wait for the label to disappear from kubectl get command (happens within  seconds)
3. Validate metadata.resourceVersion of the resource has been updated
4. Check hco.status.relatedObject still points to older resource version value of the managed resource.

Actual results:
hco.status.relatedObject still points to older resource version value of the reconciled managed resource.

Expected results:
hco.status.relatedObject should display correct resourceVersion of a reconciled resource.
