Updated the Core Play library to the latest version. Cannot test it right now. If you can please check if the update fixed this issue.

I opened an issue:

The problem which I have identified is "App is able to show the in app update when we open Google Play Store and look for updates".

App is not showing in app update until and unless we open Google play store and look for updates.
Is that a bug? How can resolve that? Its annoying to have to open play store in order for the InApp Updates to work

Status: Won't Fix (Intended Behavior)

Thanks for reporting,

the Update Availability is currently refreshed periodically or when you visit the "My Apps & Games" page. So the observed behaviour is intended.

If you are testing your integration, you can trigger the refresh manually, see https://developer.android.com/guide/playcore/in-app-updates#troubleshoot

Note: this will not be a problem for your users, since their device will receive the updated availability during the next periodic refresh.

Regarding the response of the issue that's a normal behavior.
