I’ve installed this version, and after updating and upgrading it should be 2025.1.1 … ?!

its a rolling release, the version number from your original install will stay the same but the kernel and tools will be updated as newer versions are available. If you want a ‘newer version number’ for the install information you would need to install again fresh from a later numbered ISO but either way, the end result will be exactly the same in terms of functionality and tools etc.
