It can now :-)

I added in a gadget to let you specify "latest" as the snapshot:
<http://buildfarm.postgresql.org/cgi-bin/show_stage_log.pl?nm=guaibasaurus&dt=latest&stg=make-doc>

This defaults to the latest on HEAD where there is a log with the
specified name, but for completeness you can also specify a branch name
with the "branch" query param. For the sake of efficiency it doesn't
search back more than 30 days, but that should be way more than enough.

Note that this selects the latest log for the stage whether or not it
was a success, so it might not correspond to what's on developer docs,
as that should never get an unsuccessful build. But that's probably what
you want anyway :-)
