I think so

The code is
https://salsa.debian.org/qa/udd/-/blob/master/rimporters/upstream.rb
The status of packages regarding new upstream releases is refreshed every 72 hours.
However, for github and sourceforge.net, the importer often hits rate
limiting, so it might take more time to refresh the status (and libxmp
is hosted on sourceforge.net).

The upstream_status table was a leftover from when UDD did not gather
that information itself. The correct table to use is 'upstream'. I've
now removed the 'upstream_status' table to avoid confusion.
In general you can:
set client_encoding = 'sql-ascii';
to avoid issues about non-UTF-8 data in tables.
I'm not sure why it was failing to update back then, but now version
4.6.0 is now correctly found. See:
select * from upstream where source='libxmp';
