This AM the 'red' flag on the System Message icon (top right of main Hubitat screen) was on. Clicking it gave the usual drop down that an update was available (in my case 2.2.9.134).
Writing this now from memory, I clicked it and it took me to a screen that asked if I wanted to download a backup or run the install. I did both.
I left the window open and opened another tab on my browser. The title bar of the hubitat main page I can see in the browser tabs said something like 'rebooting ...'
A few minutes later it said 'Main Menu'. I switch back to that tab.
On my main page the red flag was there again, offering to update.
a page refresh of the browser did indeed clear the red flag. IMHO this page refresh should be a step of a rebooted hub and triggered at the server side, as the server did have control over the page and I had changed pages. Many less savvy people would not be aware of forcing a browser refresh and causing a re-run of the update.
I just witnessed the same thing and thought I was losing my mind because I was updating two hubs at once but you described what I observed, word for word.
I just upgraded all of my hubs (5 total, one Development, 4 Production) at approximately the same time just now. Obviously this isn't related to multiple hubs but the fact that the Tab wasn't in focus at the moment of reboot. I don't believe I've ever rebooted/upgraded all my hubs simultaneously. Not that that is a factor either BUT, I was unable to reproduce. All 5 hubs (2 C-5's and 3 C-7s) rebooted to a no-red-spot condition.

I'll assume we're not using the same OS/browsers. I was in Firefox on Win10.
i saw this and think it was something cached in the browser.. i closed all windows and reconnected to the hub and it had the correct version.

The hub has no way to know what tabs are open and might need to be refreshed to be up to date, nor is it capable of refreshing an open tab. This is something the user does. If you want to have multiple tabs open, which I do all of the time, it's incumbent on you to know that any given tab may not be current, and what to do about it.

The tabs discussion wasn't pertinent. As a tester, it's just hard-coded in me to describe all things going on. Regardless.
I degraded my hub. left only 1 browser window on and open . The hub Welcome page showed a red circle. I stepped through as I originally described. As the pages updated automatically (letting me know the stages it was going through) all seemed normal until the Welcome page returned, the System message showed again (still?) a red circle with a 1 in it, clicking on it says 'Platform update 2.2.9.134 available'. Leaving this window untouched, I opened a iExplorer browser window with no cache and the HE welcome page was clean - no update icon. Settings Hub Details show 2.2.9.134 installed. What else to say. it's a quirk - own it or not. Circular file as is your want - I'm just trying to help and it's easily reproducible!

This doesn’t really happen. That flag would open the hub update page, which will either show the hub still rebooting or latest update installed.
Have you re-run an update this way?

I haven't tried it, but won't it just say "no update available" and NOT update again? Or so what if it did update a second time, it isn't like that will break the hub.
