FOUND THE SOLUTION in another thread :

I hit F3 on Clover Menu, And I have 2 "Install Mac OS from MacOS" and one with "Install from Preboot".
I choose the first : SSD drive activity, screen showing "Install..." with graphics and time of 36 minutes (in fact one) one reboot, I choose again "Install Mac OS from MacOS"... and reboot.

After this :

Ronalds-iMac:~ rva$ sw_vers
ProductName: Mac OS X
ProductVersion: 10.14.6
BuildVersion: 18G2022
Ronalds-iMac:~ rva$

Tried this fix but it did not work for me. So I dug a bit deeper and eventually got the Security Update to install.

I deleted a folder from the drive called "macOS Install Data" and ran the updater again and it worked.

Installed but, not exactly smoothly. Machine rebooted for the initial attempt, hung with no progress on the bar (and pink horizontal lines on the upper part of the screen) for over an hour. Manually rebooted with the “Boot FileVault PreBooter from Preboot” Clover entry and, the update was still pending. Rebooted from the “Boot FileVault Install from Preboot” (or something similar – not rebooting to check). The installer ran for about 25 minutes with a very slow progress bar (monochrome screen, apple logo), restarted, displayed a proper update install screen showing 18 minutes remaining, rebooted after about a minute. Came back up with the monochrome screen, took another ~25 minutes to boot again, displayed a proper update screen showing 35 minutes remaining. That ran for another 10 minutes. After that, the system rebooted and, the update was installed.

Thanks to everyone here sharing their experiences for the clues that got me past this one.

If you have Clover configured to select your macOS disk on boot, when installing updates it will switch and boot from an "Install Mac OS" volume if one is present. This makes installing updates a hands-off process. Caveat is if you are using encrypted disks, you need to use the Preboot volumes.

The setup is straight forward:

1. Download and install Clover Configurator
2. Run it, in Mount EFI section, mount the EFI partition from you primary boot disk.
3. Open config.plist in /EFI/EFI/CLOVER directory.
4. In Boot section in the 'Default Boot Volume' field, type the name of your primary macOS volume.
5. If you have multiple boot volumes you select, you will want to increase the Timeout value.
6. Save.

The next time you boot, your machine should boot hands off and the next update should also install hands off.

Might be a stupid question, but is the latest version of Clover recommended for updating to 10.14.6? I am currently running 10.14.2 and using clover 5.3.2.0.

For 10.14.6, r4961 will do the job. However, you can also use the newer builds. The tonymacx86 Downloads > Clover latest build is r5102 which works great for Catalina.
