as said, the issue likely arose because you weren't aware that 10.3.2 was on the Preview "trunk". There's always only one version (currently 10.3.3.494) in Preview which therefore can't be "fixed" (if there is no actual preview available then you get the Recommended version). As the Recommended trunk has now been upgraded to 10.3 (please note that it's 10.3.1 and thus neither the first Preview, which was 10.3.0, nor the last, the "missing" 10.3.2) the current 10.3.1.494 will be around another month (as Previous Recommended - this label is not yet in use).
I'm neither Sophos nor does it concern me but I'm trying to help you to present the "right" questions to your TSAM. For one thing, it seems that a Recommendedfixed packages' lifespan will be just two (instead of three to four) months. Also it looks like only select versions (not all which have been Recommended) will appear on the Extended trunk and thus it might be that Extended (or a fixed package from this trunk) is the better choice for you. Guess the SEC/SUM hack is just there to ease the migration to the new concept. It does not affect the underlying pacing of versions.
Again - this is not knowing, just guessing. But I hope it helps somewhat
