This looks weird. Even if apt-daily is run in 18h again, there
will be still a gap of 2 hours to running apt-daily-upgrade.
Why wait?

I would suggest to add

        [Service]
        ExecStartPre=/usr/lib/apt/apt.systemd.daily update

to the apt-daily-upgrade service to make sure the local index
files are up-to-date. The previous download of the packages
run by apt-daily might have failed (if configured).

upgrades run during a maintenance period of 6-7am, whereas
updates are spread over 24 hours to reduce mirror load.
