[management] Enforce the peer activity throttle inside the update

The manager checked LastSeen on the peer it already held and then issued an
unconditional UPDATE, so concurrent requests for one peer could each pass the
check off the same stale read and write. The cutoff now travels to the store
and lands in the statement's WHERE, matching how MarkPeerConnectedIfNewerSession
fences its own write, and the local check stays as the query-free fast path.
