Cumulative Update for Windows not showing as available

Hello, We have quiet a few devices that does not have monthly “Cumulative Update for Windows...” available.I don’t see a special pattern. All of them are OS supported and have agent version up-to-date.  I could do an OOB patch to push install the missed CU that is not showing in the available software. But would like to know what others have been practising. What do you do guys do?
