I noticed that if you use pamac, the version lags behind yay.
pamac search -a libcmrt
libcmrt 1.0.6-2
yay -Ss libcmrt
aur/libcmrt 1.0.6-3
Why is this happening?
It’s because pamac searches a locally stored database of packages available via the AUR, while yay searches the AUR directly.
You can tell pamac to update its local database. 
pamac update --aur --force-refresh

AUR package was updated < 3 hours before this topic
aur.archlinux.org - libcmrt 1.0.6-3
Last Updated: 2024-07-08 10:00 (UTC)
and local AUR databse had not been updated
$ pamac update -a Preparing... Synchronizing package databases... Refreshing AUR..
pamac search works as expected when database is up to date
$ pamac search -a libcmrt libcmrt 1.0.6-3 AUR Intel C for Media RunTime GPU kernel manager

To answer your topic question Does pamac delay updates from the AUR
No - pamac does not delay updates.
Because pamac does not query AUR directly, yay does.
It uses a manjaro CDN which a some intervals will download the metadata using the api provided by AUR.
The reason is due to the popularity of pamac across Arch based distributions which causes a heavy load on AUR api.
Search the forum if you want to know the details.
