This solves a common problem that is mostly seen when starting a node that has been switched off for some time, or when starting from a bootstrap. In these cases, it can be difficult get synced to the latest if you are starting from a small fork. This is because it required that the node was brought up to date via a single peer, and there wasn't much room for error if it failed to retrieve a block a couple of times. This generally caused the blocks to be thrown away and it would try the same process over and over. The solution is to apply new blocks if the most recently received block is newer than our current latest block. This gets the node back on to the main fork where it can then sync using the regular applyNewBlocks() method.
