I'm not sure exactly how it works, and I know Google doesn't disclose any information on this either, but this is what I've experienced: Every time you update your app, you'll get put back on the "Just In" front page list, as long as 7 days have passed since your last update. If you push out an update on your app before then, you don't get put on the new front page. Like you mentioned, this leads to some unfortunate behavior in the Android market. Some developers will just keep pushing out pointless updates about every 7 days, even though they contain no bug fixes or new features, just to get on the front page. If you've already downloaded an app, and an update is released, your phone keeps telling you that there is an update for one of your apps. I have almost 20 pending app updates on my phone, and I don't want to spend the time downloading all of them because I know most of them are pointless.
