You can find out the latest version of any maven dependency deployed on Maven Central through search.maven.org
If you are finding any dynamic ways of doing it, I do not know of any except for using aether library provided by Sonatype which can allow you to find out the latest version of a particular library deployed in any repository.
Maven does allow specifying version ranges in the dependency but it goes against philosophy of reproducible builds. I have read on the Maven users list that people discourage this practice.
