Steps to reproduce

I have a module that is dependent on version 5.4.0 of the Microsoft Teams module.
Uninstalling version 5.3.0 of the Teams module fails, giving a dependency error.
I can uninstall by using the -Force parameter; however that should not be necessary since the older Teams module is outside the dependency scope.

Some further details:

MyModule.psd1 has the following section:

....
RequiredModules   = @(
	@{
		ModuleName    = "MicrosoftTeams";
		ModuleVersion = "5.4.0";
		Guid          = "d910df43-3ca6-4c9c-a2e3-e9f45a8e2ad9"
	}
)

Expected behavior

I would expect the Teams module to be uninstalled correctly.
PS> Uninstall-Module -Name MicrosoftTeams -RequiredVersion 5.3.0
PS>

Actual behavior

PS> Uninstall-Module -Name MicrosoftTeams -RequiredVersion 5.3.0
Uninstall-Package: The module 'MicrosoftTeams' of version '5.3.0' in module base folder 'C:\Program Files\PowerShell\Modules\MicrosoftTeams\5.3.0' cannot be uninstalled, because one or more other modules
