I don't think systemd has anything to do with it. My guess is that you
have more than one /boot/grub on the system (perhaps a replica, perhaps
a dual-boot system), possibly more than one grub2 installed, and the
active loader is reading from one of those alternate /boot/grub points.

I'd have to agree with Rich that it is something to do with the path to the active grub.cfg.

On Fedora I use this command to effect grub updates:

grub2-mkconfig --output=/boot/grub2/grub.cfg

The update-grub command you are using is probably a plain text script in /bin or /sbin that issues the same as above.

The other place you might look is /var/log/grubby which on my system is a record of every manual or scripted update of /boot/grub(2)/grub.cfg.

Look at the UUID's for the root partition it is pointing to if you multi boot distro's or versions.
