We use 2 premium plugins packaged with our theme. When there is a new plugin version available, we (as a theme author), need to check, test and make sure that new version is fully functional with our theme. Once tested, we release a theme update which includes the new version of the plugins. So it can haves a delay between the time a plugin version is released by the third party author and our theme updates.

To check which plugin version is available from our theme,  check our theme’s changelog
