You are using the click-to-run version of Office 2016. Thus, the Office updates are not controlled by Windows Update.
When automatic updates are enabled for Office clcik-to-run version, in most cases updates are applied automatically in the background without any user input. However, updates can't be applied if an Office program is open. If an Office program is open, other attempts are made to apply the updates at a later time. If, after several days, updates haven't been applied, only then will users see a notification that an update to Office is available.
To disable the update notification, we can try the following registry key settings:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINEsoftwaremicrosoftoffice16.0commonofficeupdate
Value Name: hideupdatenotifications
Value Type: REG_DWORD
Value Data: 1
You can also create the hideupdatenotifications value with group policy setting to disable it:

I tried handling this through GPO myself. The hideupdatenotifications registry key/Group Policy Object does not handle this particular update banner. That reg key/GPO disables notifications of updates in the system tray, but not within applications themselves.
For the record, that banner only shows up if downloads have tried to install in the background for 6 days, but were not able to. In other words, if a user leaves an Office app open, Office cannot update...if that goes on for 6 days after updates were downloaded in the background, you'll see that banner in any newly opened Office app.

In my case, also click-to-run Office 2016, I had to edit a registry key to stop the banner from coming up on startup.
HKLMSOFTWAREMicrosoftOfficeClickToRunUpdates
Value: UpdatesReadyToApply
The above key contained an update string that was previously downloaded and ready to install. I blanked the value and this stopped the banner from coming up.
I left the key 'UpdatesReadyToApply' in place, just removed its contents.

I got office 2019 and I did the same as Jamie did but in my case, the value had a different name.
HKLMSOFTWAREMicrosoftOfficeClickToRunUpdates

The above key contains this string: 13192893363011, I blanked the value as Jamie did and now it doesn't show me the updates pop up.
