When I ssh into my server I get this banner:

Welcome to Ubuntu 16.04.6 LTS (GNU/Linux 4.15.0-45-generic x86_64)

 * Documentation:  https://help.ubuntu.com
 * Management:     https://landscape.canonical.com
 * Support:        https://ubuntu.com/advantage


11 packages can be updated.
8 updates are security updates.

But when I run sudo apt-get upgrade I get:

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Calculating upgrade... Done
The following packages have been kept back:
  linux-generic-hwe-16.04 linux-headers-generic-hwe-16.04 linux-image-generic-hwe-16.04 ubuntu-desktop
0 to upgrade, 0 to newly install, 0 to remove and 4 not to upgrade.

What's going on here, why do the ssh login and apt-get disagree?

You didn't sudo apt-get update first.

Always update before upgrade!
