sudo jamf recon

I just re-read your post, which makes my original answer pointless... (it was):

Hello,

Under Inventory Options> INventory Collection Preferences - have you ticked the box to say "Collect Available Software Updates"? This got me recently

login to the system, run softwareupdate -l as root
debug why thats not working. if you have proxies you must have an internal update server too.
