Here's what you could probably try:

List all the objects in the bucket with AWS S3:

$ aws s3 ls $BUCKET --recursive
2015-05-05 15:36:17          4 an_object.txt
2015-06-08 14:14:44   16322599 some/other/object
2015-04-29 12:09:29      32768 yet-another-object.sh

They're sorted alphabetically by key, but that first column is the last modified time. A quick sort will reorder them by date:

$ aws s3 ls $BUCKET --recursive | sort
2015-04-29 12:09:29      32768 yet-another-object.sh
2015-05-05 15:36:17          4 an_object.txt
2015-06-08 14:14:44   16322599 some/other/object

tail -n 1 selects the last row, and awk '{print $4}' extracts the fourth column (the name of the object).

$ aws s3 ls $BUCKET --recursive | sort | tail -n 1 | awk '{print $4}'
some/other/object

Finally, drop that into aws s3 cp to download the object:

$ KEY=`aws s3 ls $BUCKET --recursive | sort | tail -n 1 | awk '{print $4}'`
$ aws s3 cp s3://$BUCKET/$KEY ./latest-object

Hope this helps!
