On the one that's not getting updates:

[strange /etc/apt #1939] apt policy openvpn
openvpn:
  Installed: 2.6.3-1+deb12u2

On the one that is getting updates:

[top /etc/apt #1211] apt policy openvpn

        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

on the one that isn't getting updates:

[strange /etc/apt #1940] apt list --upgradable
Listing... Done
ca-certificates-java/stable 20230710~deb12u1 all [upgradable from: 20230620~deb12u1]
linux-image-amd64/stable-updates 6.1.67-1 amd64 [upgradable from: 6.1.55-1]

note that even though the candidate is openvpn 2.6.3-1+deb12u2, it
won't be installed.  Why?  What's blocking it?

It looks like the package is already at the latest version?

It's already upgraded.  Perhaps this system has unattended-upgrades
installed (or some equivalent), and the others don't.  Or, they all
do, but the times at which they upgrade are randomized, and you
happened to catch things during an interval when one of them has
upgraded, but the other two haven't yet.

Nothing's blocking it. The one that's not updating to u2 already has u2
installed.
