On the other hand, regularly checking a public location on which the latest versions of a wide variety of products are listed reveals pretty much nothing.;

If you act on what you find and go looking for the new version, of course, you reveal your interest.  But that's true *no matter how you check for or download new versions*:  The metadata about where you connect reveals your interests.  Shock, horror.  Tor.
