Morphology
The meaning is directly recoverable from 'miss' (to fail to receive/be present for) combined with 'update' (recent information); the definite article 'the' adds no idiomatic content. This is a straightforward compositional pattern common across languages, so a B1 learner who knows the constituent words should understand the MWE.
Etymology
The phrase miss the update is like missing a bus: an important message arrives and you were not there to catch it, so you miss the update and do not get the new information. That's why it means 'to not receive or learn the latest information'.
