[SOLVED] Pacman not updating kernel

I just saw that I'm not running the newest kernel:

 uname -r 

returns

 5.11.13-arch1-1 

while the newest version is 5.11.14.arch1-1. But running

 pacman -Syu 

just returns

 :: Synchronizing package databases...
 core is up to date
 extra is up to date
 community is up to date
:: Starting full system upgrade...
 there is nothing to do 

Does anyone have an idea on how to fix this?

Did you check pacman -Q linux as well? Did you reboot? If it's actually a syncing issue then your mirrors are outdated, change your top mirrors to something with a low score and reasonable closeness to your physical location: https://archlinux.org/mirrors/status/#successful

Thank you, I guess I was using an out of date mirror. Fixing the mirrorlist fixed my problem!
