I am new to using Alteryx server. My understanding published version is like production version to run when scheduled. Latest version is like current working version and will not be a production copy unless I make it as a published version. Please correct me if my understanding is wrong. I tried to run the workflow on schedule and latest version ran but not the published version. Is this expected? Then what is the use of 2 separate versions no matter what if latest version is running always?

You can choose what version is published at the time you save it, or in the Gallery.
From the Designer when you save there is a box to check.
From the Gallery you can select the version that is published and see the latest.

Yes, I did exactly as you said. But when i schedule workflows it is always taking the latest version but not the published version. This was not what I was expecting.

I dug into this and the Published version is focused on applications in the Gallery, not scheduled workflows. The expectation is that developing workflows for scheduling production would be linear. To make the workflow you want run in the scheduling, you can open in Designer and save again to make it the Latest version. That is the version that will run in Scheduler. The Published version is what will run for others running an app.
