why can not update my application in android

recently I get Installed blocked : The app permissions error error when updating my application(in app updating). I know my app signatures are same because I can install new app manually.

can some know why this happen?

Do you think I need to grant android.permission.INSTALL_PACKAGES while I granted android.permission.REQUEST_INSTALL_PACKAGES? if yes can explain deference of both?

Note: my application updated correctly in many devices!! but in some devices(android Version: 5.1.1) have problem!!!

The INSTALL_PACKAGES permission allows an application to install packages. It is not for use by third-party applications.

Developers of apps that require the ability to download and install other apps via the Package Installer may need to make some changes. If an app uses a targetSdkLevel of 26 or above and prompts the user to install other apps, the manifest file needs to include the REQUEST_INSTALL_PACKAGES permission.
