How do Flatpak updates work?
When an application is installed with Flatpak, it is pulled from the remote into a new branch in a local repository. Links are then generated which point from the right places in the filesystem to the application’s files in the repository (these are hard links, which are fast to resolve and disk space efficient).

The Flatpak commandline and tools like Discover or the Elementary app store do a fine job of handling updates for Flatpak apps and runtimes.
