Servers EnterpriseProfile Manager is for managing settings it is not for managing software updates. While JAMF Casper Suite is a set of tools which covers both what Profile Managers does (settings), and software updating you can setup and use another tool in addition to Profile Manager specifically for software installing and updating.
In your case and that of many others you might want to look at a free tool called Munki, see https://www.munki.org/munki/
It allows both auto installing applications, providing a 'store' giving users the choice of installing optional applications, and also provides a way to automate pushing updates to those users. Using another free tool called createOSXinstallPkg you can create an Apple Installer pkg file which Munki can 'push' to client Macs to install an upgrade of OS X from say 10.10 to 10.11. See https://github.com/munki/createOSXinstallPkg
Munki can also control Apple Software updates to automate things like going from 10.11.2 to 10.11.3. See https://github.com/munki/munki/wiki/Apple-Software-Updates-With-Munki
