latest job artifacts as specified by name are not available.

if the latest pipeline for a specified branch doesn't include a job, if you try to download via the API a 404 not found is returned. it appears, that the latest job artifact, by name. does not search for the latest pipeline with job.

work around is to ensure that any job that has required artifacts is always run on the branch, regardless if needed to be run or not. this solution requires that you waste CI/CD minutes. why?? if you only run a job on changes, the job may not run in the latest pipeline and therefore not be available if called.

due to this issue, jobs that require artifacts that are called via the https://gitlab.com/api/v4/projects/{project_id}/jobs/artifacts/development/download?job={job name} API endpoint need to be updated to ALWAYS RUN

this issue has also been report at gitlab-org/gitlab#331232
