Yes you are wrong with that assumption. As others have said, 3006.102.6.0 is the latest Merlin firmware (ASUS does not use this numbering/version format)
You need to review your MerlinAU settings, and specifically your backupmon settings. (As the warning is telling you...)
Please share your...
Sometimes reading the manual goes a long way! I have a strong feeling once he figured it out all went smoothly 😁
Otherwise find me at the MerlinAU thread anytime...
As others have mentioned, if you experience any issues with MerlinAU, please report them in the dedicated MerlinAU thread so I can properly track and address them.
I specifically monitor that thread for this purpose.
I also want to clarify that, although it may appear (as some have suggested)...

Have I not been nice and straight up respectful with you this entire time while trying to get further details and clarification from you? If not please quote me so I can correct my mistakes.
I am unfortunately not a mod here on these forums, so I can't control what others might say or do. You...
If you have no additional logs it means it didn't run.
Likely the cron jobs were deleted, and then re-added by MerlinAU when loading it to check on it.

I would however like to see the logs from AFTER we expected the update to run, not before as I touched on in my previous post.

We are simply asking for confirmation you meant the 102.6 full release and not the beta2, if you didn't mean beta2, there was no reason to include it...
