Description
The following leaves the admin either: (a) incorrectly reassured; or (b) confused:
Nextcloud Updater - version: v25.0.11-5-g06c1bad
Current version is 25.0.13.
No update available.
Nothing to do.
Two situations this is a problem in:
- when current in-use Server release is EoL and PHP is too old to update to next major <-- biggest problem
- when current in-use Server release isn't EoL but PHP is too old to update to next major <-- bonus benefit of fixing the prior item

Research direction
No file or test is named in the issue. Start by tracing the updater path that produces “No update available” and checking where PHP requirements for the next Server release are evaluated. Done means the admin receives a hint when an available newer release is blocked by the current PHP version, including the end-of-life case.
