Some updates are minor enhancements/bugfixes, others are important or even mandatory updates. At this very moment it is mostly fine if you are at v2.2.0.14 or above. The "check for updates" is manually set by the devs and at v2.3.0.6 you are perfectly fine. Only important updates get flagged so that your wallet tells you there is an update.

As per description above, we don't always use the auto update for minor point releases, you will notice it has been used for the latest 2.4.0 release.

We will consider using it more in future.
