Hi Stéphane,
please retry. The update notifier is always updated last by the release
engineer (can be a while after the announcements), and this time it was
just set. Doing a release needs a non-negligible amount of time, and we
have to be super careful with timing with the quarterly CPU. Which
effectively adds delays.
The checksum failures turned out to be release engineer error (of the
very non-obvious kind): the SHA256SUMS file on the server was created
with the wrong 'flavor'. Don't ask me why this silliness of checksumming
in text or binary mode has been kept until today. In our case the
checksums are always the same, but the GUI code in VirtualBox turned out
to be super picky (which normally is a good thing).
For 5.1.24 the release engineer was me...

It seems that 5.1.22 does not see 5.1.24 as a newer version:
So I manually updated to 5.1.24, but it looks like something is wrong
with the guest additions in 5.1.24:
