I have had this happen with other releases, even though I am on a connection set to metered. As long as I did not shut down my computer, it stayed on the earlier version. As soon as I restarted or shut down and started, the new version was installed.

I did manage to block it once for a bit by shutting down in the middle of the install. Other ties, that has not worked.

When I installed 1909 I had to reboot after installing the cumulative update and then reboot again after installing the feature update for the 1909 upgrade offered. Only then were two feature updates listed, with a (2) displayed immediately following the listing for the Windows feature update Version 1909.  (different anonymous) Windows 10 Home.

By the way, if you open Windows sandbox on 1909 it will show 1903
