The word 'round' is probably taken from boxing or a similar activity; whatever the precise derivation, here it's about a session (of debating) and the given argument may be replaced in the future by something quite different. This (latest) 'round' is about the subject stated, but the debate will move on to other things. Imagine it as a verbal boxing contest and you won't go far wrong!
