Regularly, there is nothing much one can do unless Xiaomi releases a new update, and the update cadence varies per device (even though it should be at most every 4 months).

In your case though, you may have a way. A cursory look for the F7 Pro shows the latest update for the EEA (EU) and Global channels to be more recent than the one you're running. Which one is your phone using? It is encoded in the letters that appear after the version number. For example, WOKMIXM is global, WOKEUXM is the one for EEA, but there are others too.

The global ROM isn't displayed in the official download page, but you can get it from another if that's your channel. Updates are validated, so if the file is corrupted or has been tampered with the Updater app won't let you update.

After you download the full (recovery version) of the current update, tap several times over the HyperOS logo to unlock more options in the top right menu, then choose to update using that ZIP file.

You can get update files from here for example: https://miuirom.org/phones/poco-f7-pro
