 Hello @kmjames

 With recent API changes to the WordPress update server the highest version
 that your server will support will be prompted for you. The reason you
 aren't seeing WordPress 5.3 as an available update is most likely because
 your server PHP is not supported.

 Please see this article for helpful information to upgrade your server
 PHP;
 https://wordpress.org/support/update-php/
 *In many cases you'll just have to contact your hosting company to conduct
 the upgrade.

 Once on a supported PHP version the latestt WordPress will become
 available for updating.

 Leaving this open for now in case PHP version isn't actually the issue.
