If you click on the link, you'll see that the current version in bionic is 1:2.1.26-1, while yours is 2.1.29~vhost-0~1021~ubuntu18.04.1. The 1: at the start of the Ubuntu version is an "epoch", and it makes that version greater than any version without an epoch, so apt won't pick the version from your PPA. See the Debian Policy Manual[0] for a full description of the version syntax. The best way to fix this is probably to add a 1: to the version template on https://code.launchpad.net/~jimpop/+recipe/mailman-vhost. But you should also check your debian/changelog[1], since it has an epoch of 2 rather than 1 and seems to be missing all the changelog entries from Ubuntu.
