I use neo store to download apps on f Droid, and it keeps on asking me to update proton mail to 3.0.16, and this version is not on the play store. It does say it's from izzyondroid, meaning that it comes from GitHub, so did the devs just update GitHub before the play store?

I think they're pushing the update to the Play Store before they publish it to GitHub.

That's so annoying, as an F-Droid user, to almost always be one version behind. It also might have security implications that I'm not aware of.

That's the opposite of what I said, it went to GitHub before the play store, so I need to use f Droid to update.

I understand what you said. I'm saying that most of the time, what happens is actually the opposite of what you said.

and it keeps on asking me to update proton mail to 3.0.16, and this version is not on the play store.

Version 3.0.16 has been on the Play Store for quite some time, I've got it updated through Aurora Store. Since July 25th to be precise. So it took them about 17 days to publish it to GitHub, after pushing it to Play Store.

The Play Store doesn't always push an update at the same time to all users. So instead, they have a Staged Rollout. Here's an example from this article, it's not related specifically to Proton.
