Software update happening automatically? S5

[BUS73R]

Hello guyssss

I've got this problem since yesterday. my s5 is running 5.0 so i went to "About Device" hit the software update button and it updated though its still 5.0 Lollipop. So i went back to About device and unchecked automatic update. It still kept on connecting to server and downloading update. So it updated again after it updated and rebooted the device it still connected to the server on its own and started downloading updates again. I know i might have a lot of updates to download but is there a way i can stop this because its annoying. And can anyone tell me why despite downloading these updates my OS is still 5.0? r they firmware or security etc updates? performance updates?
