I've seen Chrome (when installed via the official rpm
packaging from Google) report that it needs restarted to
pick up an update that's been installed, but I've never seen
it update itself on Linux.  (Not that I can't be wrong about
that, of course.)

The google-chrome repo managed by Google is generally kept
up to date.  Are you positive that you haven't installed an
update to Chrome since the last time you restarted the app?

I know that several vulnerabilities discussed recently have
already been patched and shipped to the google-chrome repo.
The latest stable version on the Chrome release page is
86.0.4240.198, which is what's been in the google-chrome
package repo since the middle of last week.

Since google-chrome is not in the Fedora repos, it won't be
in updates or updates-testing. ;)
