If you ask for x.y.z-SNAPSHOT then by default the latest x.y.z-timestamp snapshot version will be downloaded. No need to do anything additional

If you're asking to find the latest x.y.z-SNAPSHOT version where the x, y, z are guessed - Nexus never had this functionality (it worked only for plugins). And I don't think there is any good use case for this. If this is needed, you're probably doing something wrong. You always should work with a specific version. Actually even for the 1st functionality I can't think of good use cases.
