AFAIK, this should just work: if a newer version of a package is
installed it should be used instead of the built-in one.  If there are
any problems with that, it might be indicative of a bug somewhere.

Probably it relies on autoloads in flymake itself.  Maybe we could do
the same here, but it depends on whether or not it would make sense to
autoload the things you need.  João is probably the best person to
answer that.
