WordPress URL Rewrite not working

by

first, you should use the proper filter and method to add query vars and rewrite rules and not manipulate the globals directly. the other issue I believe is your regex pattern, this is working for me:

add_filter( 'query_vars', 'wpa59404_query_vars' );
function wpa59404_query_vars($query_vars){
    $query_vars[] = 'update_slug';
    return $query_vars;
}

add_action( 'init', 'wpa59404_rewrites' );
function wpa59404_rewrites(){
    add_rewrite_rule(
        'updates/plugins/([^/]+)/?$',
        'index.php?update_slug=$matches[1]',
        'top'
    );
}
