You can update a Yosemite system on a MacBook Pro well beyond 10.10, but it depends on the model. For example, you can upgrade to 10.13.6 High Sierra, as long as your MacBook Pro is mid 2010 or later - you have not stated the age of your Mac. The updates you have been looking at report only the status of your Yosemite system and not upgrades beyond it.


You can obtain the Sierra installer or the link to superior systems such as the High Sierra App store download from the link in the support page here (but use Safari).
