Mac OS X & macOS names. As you can see from the list above, with the exception of the first OS X beta, all versions of the Mac operating system from 2001 to 2012 were all named after big cats.
The App Store only shows updates for the OS you are using at the moment, in your case Yosemite 10.10.5.

If you want to go to another newer OS that is called an upgrade. This can be done through the App Store using the following link.
High Sierra is the last/ newest OS your Mac can use. Scroll down to Section 4 and click on Get macOS High Sierra.
Make a full back up of your Mac before upgrading.
Check to see with the developers of any third party apps you use that there are updates available so they will continue to work in the new OS. Another thing you need to check is if any printers/ scanners etc you use have updated drivers and software so they too can continue to function in the new OS.

How to update apps on Mac: The manual way
Open the App Store on your Mac. You will either find this in the dock at the bottom of your desktop, in Applications, or through the top menu option on your toolbar.
In the App Store toolbar, you will find Updates, where it shows updates that have come through in the last 30 days. Here it shows Apple apps, such as Numbers and Pages, and third-party apps, such as Spotify.
Update All, or click the individual apps and software you want to update.
Some updates, such as for Mac security features and Safari come through as part of a macOS update, so not everything will show up in the App Store.
If you don't see an update you were expecting, use the Search field to see if the app or software you want to update needs refreshing.
Some third-party apps either update themselves automatically, if you’ve clicked yes to this feature, or you will need to download separately.
Before updating Mac apps from the App Store, we recommend taking a few steps first to avoid the risk of your Mac not operating as smoothly as you would hope after a software update, especially if you’ve not decluttered for a while, or ever.
