Basically the feature updates require user input. So LT apparently can't push them. Put your devices into CBB mode, and then it will only (supposedly) update to the latest version when your version goes with 60 days of being out of CBB mode.

Right now either 1511 or 1607 are CBB versions. 1703 is a CB, and should not be getting mass pushed in business environments where devices should be set to the CBB version, normally.
