Upload draft APK without interfering with published APK?

I have a published app. The app uses Google's license check, so in order to test new versions of the app (using the test accounts) the APK must be uploaded in the Developer Console:

The account owner (but not the other test accounts) will also get this response for applications that have not been uploaded to Google Play yet.

I've done this several times. It's a no-brainer. Well, until now.

After uploading my new APK as 'draft production', it gives me this warning message:

Some devices are eligible to run multiple APKs. In such a scenario, the device will receive the APK with the higher version code.

This makes me nervous as I do NOT want to publish this new version.

Previously, I simply marked my latest APK as Inactivated and I was all set. How can this be done in the new Developer Console?

Uploading the APK and clicking Save draft is enough to get the license check working. The new APK will not be published until you explicitly publish it. The error message is simply there to pinpoint a problem which would arise if you choose to publish the app.
