Bug Description
The Updates tab shows "Software is up to date". Pressing the reload button on the button bar shows it looking for new updates, the "Software is up to date".
Running "sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade" however shows 143 upgraded packages:

Abort.
After cancelling the "apt upgrade" and pressing reload in the Gnome Software Updates tab, it still indicates "Software is up to date".
I would expect the Gnome Software Updates UI to show that there are updates available.
