I think that the Microsoft Store version is much more prompt in receiving updates. With v10.8.4 I got it immediately without asking, the previous couple of releases I had to wait for a number of days and sometimes got tired of waiting and other times was patient. It is dribbled out rather than released to everyone automatically. I believe that 'check for updates' checks to see which update is actually scheduled to come to your PC. (On the Google Pixel phones' check for update, it won't tell you there's an update if you're not currently in the part of the phased rollout receiving the update, and then you get it automatically anyway, so the feature is essentially useless. If the check for update item isn't designed to behave that way, then I'd argue it should just be removed entirely, since it's just confusing and has no real functionality. In terms of expected behaviour, it seems logical to me that even if the app normally autoupdates itself, if you've gone to the trouble of manually opening the menu item to Check for updates, it should actually check if there is a current update and offer to install it, even if you'd otherwise not receive it for a while due to a phased rollout. It may be that it takes several days and every time I've checked it happened by chance to be just after the new release? But this doesn't seem too likely. I'm currently on 10.8.4 but I upgraded manually.
