Here can you see the Master Catalog available to download is version 2.9.5, while the version installed from the above screen shot of the CA SAM UI is version 2.8.2 . IN this case, the update to the catalog is needed. If the Additional Information matches then you are up to date.. if not you need to update the catalog.
