I admit I'm not using the Control Center. So the following is just my take on the topic without personal interest. 
The date of the last update and the number of updates available are completely two different things, specifically what's needed in the background to gain this information. Ideally would be of course to see both information.
But, to gain the information about new updates you would have to run apt commands in the background each single time the LLCC gets started, meaning you will need to wait quite a bit, wouldn't you?
I would rather suggest to invest the time into an LLCC independent/automatic update notification/procedure that has been mentioned/asked for many times before on the forum. Some scripts/LL software that mainly cover the options mentioned in Synaptic (-> Settings -> Repositories -> Updates).
If the information of this software can also be shown in the LLCC, even better
