Hi @Ov3rfly,
Currently the WordPress.org API's only offer the latest version of
WordPress for manual updates, with older branches receiving automatic
updates.
Running an older version of WordPress is not officially supported, with
them receiving security updates purely out of interest in the ongoing
security of sites, not that we encourage users to continue to run those
versions, or to provide a choice of not running the latest branch.
At present during the 5.7.1/5.6.3 release, due to network constraints some
sites may not currently be receiving automatic updates but will in the
coming hours.
