WordPress uses CRON job to check for updates 2 times a day. But, it will also check for updates anytime you visit Updates page.
When the update check is finished, results are cached and used until the next manual or scheduled check. Visiting Plugins page will show updates from these cached results only, it will not trigger update check.
