That lists the *local* version, not the most current available
version.

This is how I check for the remote version:
curl --silent --connect-timeout 5 \
'https://distribution.contextgarden.net/current/context/latest/tex/context/base/mkiv/context.mkiv'
| sed -ne '/\\edef\\contextversion/s/.*{\(.*\)}/\1/p'
Not pretty, but has been working for a decade or so (except the
minimals → standalone change a while ago).
