Sonoma updates after patching?

I have Sonoma 14.6.1 (23G93) installed on a late 2012 iMac with OLCP and have turned off automatic OS updates. However, I am seeing occasional 'gear' notifications saying an update is available but if I click it it takes me to the system preferences>general>software update page where it says 'Your Mac is up to date'. So, (A) what would cause this, and (B) is it safe to leave automatic updates on or manually load them if the do show up?
