Rebooted my vps and Ubuntu suddenly thought there were 56 packages that could be upgraded, safe to say there weren't

Try full-upgrade and see if it shows any?
The only difference between upgrade and full-upgrade is that full-upgrade will remove packages if necessary (like if an installed package conflicts with an update), whereas upgrade won't.
Did try it but got nothing that needed to be upgraded still, I feel it might've just been an motd bug
Possible that you were pending a kernel update before the reboot, and the system was ineligible to those security updates at that moment.
I wasn't, there was no kernel update at all
Sounds like your install is old enough where it doesn't qualify for the updates. You get like 5 or 6 ESM keys for free i think.
I installed it about 2 weeks ago and resolute is only a few months old, not sure how that'd be the case
