You could mask the version higher than what you have or just mask the
specific version it is trying to upgrade to.  The former will not
upgrade until you remove the mask.  The later will remind you the next
time there is a version bump.  I sort of prefer the later version just
in case I forget that I masked something. 

There may be other ways to tho.
