Understandably, Microsoft has made the difficult decision to delay the release of SQL Server cumulative updates (as well as updates for other products) by about a month, as outlined in a recent update to Lifecycle changes to end of support and servicing dates.

SQL Server 2017: Cumulative Update #21 will ship in July shipped July 1st
SQL Server 2016: Service Pack 2 Cumulative Update #13 will ship in June shipped May 28th
