12.6 no longer appears in software update

Software Update prompted me several days ago to update to Monterey 12.6, but I didn’t have time to deal with it then. Today I decided to go ahead with the update, but when I opened Software Update, the dialog says “Your Mac is up to date — macOS Monterey 12.5.1 (21G83)”


Did Apple withdraw the 12.6 update?


iMac (24-inch, M1, 2021, 2 ports)
