Open System Preferences ➔ Software Update and if there is an update available then install it from there. If you believe that the update is still not taking place then perhaps using the recovery mode to install the most recent version of MacOS is an option.

More information on ➔ How to reinstall MacOS from MacOS Recovery. Read up on booting with the COMMAND + R Keys.
