I thought the store got the update from the repo so theoratically should'nt the website have it if the fdroid app store is taking updates from there ( I am talking about the official fdroid app , the main repo and main site ) or is the official site and repo not the same or am i missing something ?

The website's app index is generated independently.

And F-droid takes some time to build, iirc between 3-5 days from what devs have posted.

Some releases never seem to make it to the main repo for various reasons.
