Here's one way to do it, though not it one SQL statement:
create table copy_of_original_table as
select distinct on ("ProdID") "ProdID", ...
from original_table
order by "ChangeDate" desc;
truncate original_table;
insert into original_table ("ProdID", ... )
select "ProdID", ...
from copy_of_original_table;
Note you need to quote the column names if case is important.
