A late 2013 iMac can be upgraded to Catalina. See the following from Identify your iMac model - Apple Support


iMac (21.5-inch, Late 2013)

Model Identifier: iMac14,1

Part Number: ME086xx/A, ME087xx/A

Newest compatible operating system: macOS Catalina


A late 2013 iMac can be upgraded to Catalina 10.15.7 but no later. See: How to download macOS - Apple Support


Be aware that if you upgrade to Catalina 10.15 or later you will also need to update any non-Apple 32-bit apps. See: https://www.macworld.com/article/232735/how-to-check-if-mac-software-is-32-or-64-bit.html
