It would appear the User ( you ) have asked a similar question regarding Big Sur 11.6.4 not updating your computer but wires' machine did. what is the latest version of Big Sur? - Apple Community
It was suggested at that time the suer might be enrolled in Beta Testing.
It that was and is still the case, this may explain this Question.
Where did you see or get 20G526? I updated two Macs to Big Sur 11.6.5 and only saw 20G527.
Just by updating the macOS. But that is not the issue.
The issue is that it refuses the latest update 20G527.

That's why I asked. I've never seen a 20G526 build. Whatever it is it may be causing the problem.
Were you running beta versions?
Prolly have to re-download and install Big Sur, as Combo Updates are no more.
(As a guess, either a computer-specific update, or maybe Apple pulled and re-issued an update.)
You can try running this in the Terminal…
softwareupdate --fetch-full-installer --full-installer-version 11.6.5
It should install the "Install macOS Big Sur" app in the Applications folder.
I've done that as well with no result. Tried after booting into the safe mode, no result
Tried: sudo rm -rf "/macOS Install Data"
Tried: sudo rm /Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist
All in vain.

Well I'm out of ideas. If you have a Time Machine or other backup from before you installed the 20G526 build, I suppose you could try rolling back to 11.6.4 then update to 11.6.5.
