Description
Seen while installing files_pdfviewer-0.12.0RC1 in docker owncloud/server:10.5 (and also docker owncloud/server:10.6.0)

The message is misleading. pdfviewer is not asking for an upgrade of 10.5.0 to a later core version -- it actually wants to
run database migrations, as installing files_pdfviewer-0.12.0 is actually an update from the shipped files_pdfviewer-0.11.0
Our docker images apparently ship with a config.php setting that not only prevent 'automatic' updates but also hides important information from the web UI.
In a manually installed 10.6 instance config.php is without the 'upgrade.disable-web' entry and we get the needed details:

Expected behaviour: 'upgrade.disable-web' => true only removes the 'Start Update' button, but leaves the text as is.
@iHerrmann77 thanks for spotting.

Research direction
Start by comparing the docker image config.php setting for 'upgrade.disable-web' with the manually installed configuration and trace where that setting affects the Web-UI update message. Verify that disabling the button does not remove the migration details, using the reported pdfviewer installation scenario as the completion check.
