Comment (by mikachan):

 I've just noticed a similar issue, although maybe it warrants its own
 ticket:

 On a site that is using an out-of-date version of WordPress (e.g. 6.4),
 when looking at the plugins dashboard, it looks like plugins (e.g. Woo)
 are up to date as there is no notice.

 However, if you try to reinstall a plugin that has updates, you see this
 notice:

 I'm wondering if it would be better to show this notice on the plugins
 dashboard instead, so it's clear that there are plugin updates available,
 but WordPress would need to be updated to install them.
