Thanks for that. I think this clears things up -- it looks like the updates are
all manual ones, especially judging from how dates are grouped.
So I must apologize to you and the other responders on this thread. The
notifications I have seen in logwatch must have been from manual updates that I
was unaware of or did not remember.

Indeed, it's not there yet I see an update available.

The date/times appear to indicate manual interaction from a human. In any case,
my question seems to be answered. I will watch logwatch a little longer and
make sure this is the case.
Thanks to everyone and sorry for the confusion.
