To expand on that - there are multiple online sources where you can install 
gnucash flatpaks from:

- flathub: a cross-distro repository of flatpaks for stable versions of 
various applications (including gnucash)
- code.gnucash.org/builds/flatpak/ : a gnucash specific repository that offers 
nightly snapshots of the current development state of gnucash. These are *not* 
gnucash releases.

Aside from the 'fitness for production' factor there's another difference: the 
flathub repository will let you update to the latest version by running 
flatpak update, the nightly repo will not. In that repo you choose a very 
specific version to install and that will never change. If you want another 
version, you have to install that one (and probably remove the other one). 

>From your list it shows you have installed gnucash from the second source (you 
have named this 'origin' "gnucash"). As I said, that will not change by itself 
by running 'flatpak update'.

Unless you are testing some new feature or bug fix it's strongly recommended 
to use a stable version also known as a stable release.

So what you should do is to remove the gnucash flatpak you have currently 
installed in install it again from flathub. That will give you the latest 
stable edition.

Commands to do so:
a. remove gnucash

  sudo flatpak remove org.gnucash.GnuCash

b. install gnucash from flatpak:

  sudo flatpak install flathub org.gnucash.GnuCash
