Download install latest pkg from a repo through Terminal?
I’d recommend you look into AutoPkg (https://github.com/autopkg/autopkg). It can do exactly what you ask - check the repo for new releases, and download them. It can even package them up if needed, or customise the package for you. Depending on the MDM you use, and/out your scripting ability, you could even have it upload the package to the MDM.

Get notified when select apps have an update
If anyone comes across this with the same question I found a helpful utility is autopkg. https://github.com/autopkg/autopkg Instead of a simple notification, I created a daily job that runs an autopkg update on selected apps I care about and adds it to my Testing Manifest Munki Repo. The Manager Software Center app notifies me when a package has an update the next time the client checks in.

AutoPkg not showing up in applictions, only in Library folder
Definitely AutoPkgr. Keep in mind, learning to work in the “command line” is the single best & most thing you can do to advance as an (aspiring) IT admin.
