The installed create-react-app command more or less doesn't need to be updated. Not that it hasn't ever changed, but that leaving it on an older version won't prevent you from creating up-to-date React apps.

At the time you run it, it'll create a React app using the latest version of the react and react-dom packages (so you're running latest React) and the latest version of react-scripts (the "brains" of a CRA app which handles the start/build/eject commands).
