The short answer is yes you should be able to hide (or gray out) updates unless their prerequisites are in place -- a needed update is installed or a particular file version is already installed. It will likely require a bit of investigation on your part to pick the most reliable details with these large rollups but it should be doable to hide or better gray out an update if it needs last months rollup to be in place first.
BTW, the dates also act to install updates in order if multiple updates can be run one after the other -- the older dates go first so 20170901 goes first, 20170902 next, 20170903 will run last - kinda cool.
TheApGuy will have more specific details I'm sure, I don't know how much of the old functionality has been changed or removed but you can have a look at the old docs here -->> viewtopic.php?f=27&t=1277&start=20#p5539
Hope this helps some.
