Will I receive the MacOS Tahoe version if my Macbook Air is from 2020?

Hello! I recently updated my Mac, and I was curious as to why I was only able to get the Sequoia update. I have the Intel version, which I am realizing may be why. Is it true I may have just missed the generation?

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 15.7
