Please DO NOT uninstall your game as this will not solve the problem.
The problem from what I can guess is that the update is not appearing as available on some regional servers, please wait a day or two as this has been the duration needed from past experiences. If you start to mess around with reinstalling, there are a few disadvantages I think you need to aware, one is that you will be treated by the system as a new player after re-installation and you will only have the starter's offers from the shop, the second is that game save progress might be recovered wrongly and you will need to contact EA and wait for the advisors' help.
I hope the workaround (of entering Arena/Penys via the main menu) is working for you and will last until update is available, currently I have seen no replies from the devs both on subreddit and here.
I will keep checking and if there is any further news, I will post it here and share this with you.
