Bug Description

I recently update my n8n container to the latest Docker version, and despite showing the latest version on the about page (2.23.4), my instance is still saying it is 1 version behind. This has been going on for 3 versions now. <img width="345" height="445" alt="Image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/3eda86c3-e71f-4208-8b4f-db7c43da9517" />

To Reproduce

  1. Simply update from a previous n8n version that is run in a docker container and see the issue.

Expected behavior

Should not show an update notification unless there is an actually an update.
