So sorry, I misunderstood. I don't have much else to offer, but
results from a bit of research...

Ok, Chris just answered, but since I wrote this up, I'll post anyway? :)

I found a post that said...
"Updates for the iWork apps installed from the retail disk or licensed
from the trial will come through Software Update, not the Mac App
Store."
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4020638?start=0&tstart=0

You said you were running Mountain Lion right?
I wonder since they merged the Software Updates and the Mac App Store,
is this why you are having this problem?
I don't have iWork since I am holding my breath for a new version,
that could be more accessible. Have to admit though, I am starting to
turn blue. ;)

Good luck.
