Install/Update Edge on Server using WSUS
I have tested the updates in a test environment:
- WSUS-Server: Server 2016
- WSUS-Client who received the updates from WSUS: Server 2016
Test results:
1. The initial install of edge on Server 2016 (WSUS-Client) isn't possible with one of the updates from WSUS. (The Windows Server 2016 doesn't show me KB4584642 as available for installation.)
2. After installing Edge (via MSI) on the WSUS-Client and installing all Windows updates it was possible to patch the installed Edge with the updates form WSUS. [Update name: Microsoft Edge-Stable Channel <Version> for x64-Editions (Build <Build-Version>)]
- You should update the description of the updates. At the moment it says the following: "It applies to Windows 7, Windows 8.1 and Windows 10-based systems." ("Windows Server 2016" and "Windows server 2019" are missing here.)
Best regards.

You mentioned Microsoft Update Catalog, I can see there are multiple packages for KB4584642 (https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4584642/update-in-wsus-for-the-new-microsoft-edge) on the site https://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/Search.aspx?q=edge
Let me know if you are seeing differently or if you are encountering any errors. Thanks!

As you can see in your image, the updates are only supported for the client version of windows 10 and not for the server operating system version (Windows Server 2016 and 2019). Or is this a mistake in the update description?
(Btw: I know about the updates and we use it since months on our clients.)
I will try later if I can install the updates on server operating systems too.
