 Hi @Ov3rfly,

 Currently the WordPress.org API's only offer the latest version of
 WordPress for manual updates, with older branches receiving automatic
 updates.

 Running an older version of WordPress is not officially supported, with
 them receiving security updates purely out of interest in the ongoing
 security of sites, not that we encourage users to continue to run those
 versions, or to provide a choice of not running the latest branch.

 At present during the 5.7.1/5.6.3 release, due to network constraints some
 sites may not currently be receiving automatic updates but will in the
 coming hours.
