I keep getting the message ' your mac is up to date' with Mojave.


My iMac is late 2013... which should be eligible for Catalina.


What's the issue??

I’d wait on Catalina 10.15.1 or 10.15.2 then, but if you’re still inclined to press onward and upgrade and not to take this as a hint, make a couple of complete and external backups, and disconnect everything USB or otherwise external, and then try to brute-force upgrade it: How to reinstall macOS from macOS Recovery - Apple Support. This using the Option-⌘-R path. This approach per a posting from an Apple rep.
