Still on 6.1.0-17 and nothing shows up after sudo apt update.

You're good. That's the latest image, it's just the confusing Debian version scheme where the package version is not the same as the kernel version. Debian package version 6.1.0-17 = kernel version 6.1.69-1

See:

$ uname -a
Linux debian12 6.1.0-17-amd64 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Debian 6.1.69-1 (2023-12-30) x86_64 GNU/Linux

And:

$ dpkg-query --list linux-image-6.1.0-17-amd64
Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold
| Status=Not/Inst/Conf-files/Unpacked/halF-conf/Half-inst/trig-aWait/Trig-pend
|/ Err?=(none)/Reinst-required (Status,Err: uppercase=bad)
||/ Name                       Version      Architecture Description
+++-==========================-============-============-=================================
ii  linux-image-6.1.0-17-amd64 6.1.69-1     amd64        Linux 6.1 for 64-bit PCs (signed)

6.1.0-17 is the one I received today. I was on 6.1.0-16 until now.
