Spring Boot, Elasticsearch 6.2.4, Gradle dependency issues

I am converting a legacy application to Spring Boot. This application currently uses Elasticsearch 6.2.4

When creating the following dependencies in my build.gradle file, it includes the wrong version of Elasticsearch, 5.6.11:

dependencies {
    // Spring Boot Starters
    compile 'org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-web'
    compile 'org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-security'
    compile 'org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-mail'

    // Elasticsearch
    compile 'org.elasticsearch.client:elasticsearch-rest-high-level-client:6.2.4'
}

Output from ./gradlew dependencies

+--- org.elasticsearch.client:elasticsearch-rest-high-level-client:6.2.4
|    +--- org.elasticsearch:elasticsearch:6.2.4 -> 5.6.11

I am assuming this is some magic happening due to the io.spring.dependency-management plugin.

How can I override this behavior and still use my explicit configured version while converting this legacy application to Spring Boot?

Note that I am not using spring-data at the moment, nor do I have plans to move to that anytime soon. My current application manages the ES client and all interactions itself without any Spring abstraction layer.

Adding the future reference. The version added in ext can be referenced in dependency using property() so that we don't need to duplicate version declaration.

compile ("org.elasticsearch.client:elasticsearch-rest-high-level-client:${property('elasticsearch.version')}")
