Not a direct answer but I've been implementing Nudge all day. It reminds the user to update. You install the pkg and then push an mdm profile with your minimum version and date. https://github.com/macadmins/nudge
MacOS Updates
2 projects | /r/Intune | 7 Feb 2023

We deployed Nudge to our Macs to remind users to accept their updates. There's a script on Microsoft's Shell script GitHub to deploy it/keep it up to date. You can build a custom config profile using the documentation on the Macadmins' Nudge Github home as well.

JAMF Patch Management

Taking a few steps back, I’m assuming this is in an effort to patch macOS? If so, I personally feel this is not the right method. Take a look at other encouragement tools instead, like Nudge (https://github.com/macadmins/nudge) or utilising device compliance solutions like Jamf and Intune via their plugin solution.
