As an update on this topic, all of the recent previous Xamarin.iOS, Xamarin.Android, and Xamarin.Mac packages are available in the archives on the open source continuous builds server (under the Xamarin.Android and Xamarin.MaciOS tabs). And the Mono Framework MDK is similarly available in the Mono Project download archive. I have now updated the 15.7 Release Xamarin Release Blog post to provide the links to those locations. In many cases, the latest version of Visual Studio for Mac will be backwards compatible with previous versions of the Xamarin SDKs, so you can in many cases just install those earlier Xamarin SDK versions over the current versions and leave Visual Studio for Mac and Mono Framework MDK at the latest.

OP is referring to Visual Studio for Mac, which is definitely not the same thing as Visual Studio Code. The former is a port of Xamarin Studio to the Mac. The latter is an Electron-based source code editor, with extensions to make it an IDE. Sep 5, 2018 - Visual Studio (the text editor is known as Visual Studio Code so we'll refer to. Now on) is Microsoft's free text editor that runs on Windows, Linux, and macOS. Environment overall in Stack Overflow's 2018 Developer Survey.
If you do need to get an older version of Visual Studio for Mac itself, the best option at this time is still to create a support incident to request the version you'd like. The updated info for creating a Visual Studio for Mac support incident is to go to Technical Support > Product: Visual Studio > Assisted Support on https://www.visualstudio.com/vs/support/ and then select Visual Studio Community/Professional/Enterprise 2017 for Mac.
I used to download previous releases from my Xamarin account page which now doesn't seem to exist anymore.
At the moment, the direct link to the old downloads page (https://store.xamarin.com/account/my/subscription/downloads) is not yet set to redirect, so it is still possible to access that page, but indeed that page is considered deprecated in favor of the open source continuous builds archive at this time, and the previous versions provided on that page are from the earlier Xamarin 15.5 Release rather than the Xamarin 15.6 Release.
