To add to The Wanderer's great answer, you might find the output
of the below command helps to clarify matters, because it tells about
the status of packages that are currently installed:
  $ apt list --installed --upgradeable 'linux-image*'

Whereas (someone please correct me if I'm wrong)
'apt-cache show' tells what is currently available from your
configured repositories, but does not indicate whether any of those
are currently installed, or not.
