Version Notes: CMS 10.6.492
CMS 10.6.492Manage Aliases tab includes a drop-down menu to filter aliases based on the map's latest checked-in version or version marked for a publishing target.

If the list does not display the new alias for a publishing target filter, verify the aliased map is marked to that target.
