  There's the generic auto-update, i.e. a setting of the Play Store app
('Auto-update apps') and per-app settings (tick/untick 'Auto-update'
(vertical row of three dots in upper right corner) on the app's page
within the Play store app.

  If the per-app setting is off, it will not auto-update, but (AFAIK)
will till list the update (i.e. the behaviour you're seeing).

  But even when the per-app setting is on, there are several scenarios
where the update will not (yet) be done:

- An update might require your approval of extra permissions.

- It might take some time before the Play Store app has processed all
  pending updates
  
- If an update fails - can you say "Insufficient storage available" !?
  :-( - it will (AFAIK) not be retried, but will be kept in the list of
  available updates.
