Database updates after pulling in code updates for modules
What makes you think that, for any of the updated modules, part of the actual updates included some database update to be performed? In other words: there are (plenty) of cases where, if you update some module, there are no related database updates that are included in such module update.

From "Writing .install files (Drupal 7.x)", within the parg "Module updates using hook_update_N":


  Updating your module, for example updating your schema, can be done using hook_update_N functions. The API page for this is at: function hook_update_N.
  
  Suppose you add a new column called 'newcol' to mytable1. First, be sure to update your schema structure in mymodule_schema() so that newly created tables get the new column. Then, add an update function to mymodule.install ...


Have a look at this part of an .install file about an update of the database for the Rules module, and which looks like so:

/**
 * Creates a flag that enables a permission for using components.
 */
function rules_update_7209() {
  // Create a access exposed flag column.
  db_add_field('rules_config', 'access_exposed', array(
    'type' =&gt; 'int',
    'not null' =&gt; TRUE,
    'default' =&gt; 0,
    'size' =&gt; 'tiny',
    'description' =&gt; 'Whether to use a permission to control access for using components.',
  ));
}


PS: It's fair to say that database updates are not required unless a change is made to the schema.
