The reason is usually that the data series has not accumulated enough new seasonal factors to trigger an adjustment.The NSA series can be located here (https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/ALLE942MFGN) The FRED team is currently working on a new procedure to replace SA data that has not yet be updated with NSA data that has been updated.

In these cases, the NSA series will be updated normally; but the SA series will also be updated with the NSA data. The NSA series can be located here here (https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/ALLE942MFGN).
