I think it shows only the date the extension was installed the last
time, either manually or by automatic update.

The Lightning nightly update mechanism is very simple and just points to
the most current nightly build. This means you can receive an update but
the build that will be installed is already days or weeks old -
depending on the date of the last successful nightly build.

Risks for that are now minimized because Lightning is build together 
with the official Thunderbird builds on the Thunderbird build servers. 
If a new Thunderbird nightly is available a new Lightning nightly should 
be available too.
