    Try MANUALLY updating. Download WordPress again and unzip it, and use that to copy up. Access your server via SFTP or FTP, or a file manager in your hosting account’s control panel (consult your hosting provider’s documentation for specifics on these), and delete then replace your copies of everything on the server EXCEPT the wp-config.php file and the /wp-content/ directory with fresh copies from the download. This will effectively replace all of your core files without damaging your content and settings. (NOTE: do not delete the wp-content directory or your wp-config.php file). Please read the Manual Update directions first.

    Backup: If you haven’t already done, always backup everything (including your database) before doing any actions, just in case something really goes wrong. You can never have enough backups! See https://wordpress.org/support/article/wordpress-backups/

    OK so i did the manual update using the directions here

    Updating WordPress

    it says
    No Update Required
    Your WordPress database is already up-to-date!

    and yet it also shows.
    WordPress 5.2.4 is available! Please update now.

    AFTER the manual update.
    Strange…

    Your WordPress version from version.php?
    Example of 5.2.5 alpha https://github.com/WordPress/WordPress/blob/5.2-branch/wp-includes/version.php#L16

    /**
    * The WordPress version string
    *
    * @global string $wp_version
    */
    $wp_version = ‘5.2.4’;

    That suggest your WP installation is up to date, 5.2.4 is the current stable version.
