It looks like you have only two choices, ‘update now’ and interrupt your work or leave the message sitting there.

There’s a third option, that little black x on far right.   Click on that to make any message bar disappear.

The Updates Available message is in addition to what you’ll see at File | Account in Office 2019 or Office 365 for Windows.
