Yes, it is not very clearly stated or warned that the user of this package has to manually update the plugin by commanding:
update-pepperflashplugin-nonfree

Or do you mean that although a new version has been released a couple of days ago, still the plugin are not updated because it is not "verified" by the packaged maintainer(s), what ever it means. Check:
http://people.debian.org/~bartm/pepperflashplugin-nonfree/latest-stable-verified.txt
that is where the updates are being checked. Currently it says 19.0.0.245.
https://people.debian.org/~bartm/pepperflashplugin-nonfree/latest-stable.txt
currently 20.0.0.228.
