You could attempt to remove the HomePod, reset it to factory settings, and then set it back up with your iPhone. This could resolve the problem.
0. Open Home App and remove accessory.
1. Unplug the HomePod, wait about 1 minute, and then plug it back in.
2. Hold the top home button and Siri will eventually inform you that it's resetting.
3. Add the HomePod back to your iPhone and check for updates.

I'm still not seeing it either. Phone says 12.0 is the latest software.

It seems there is a bug in HomePod 12.0 version that prevents OTA updates. Update to HomePod 12.1 seems to work from version 11.
I have no idea how to fix this?

Yeah that answers my question. I have 3 of them. One was running 11.something and the other two on 12.0. The first one updated and the others I cannot.
Oh well I guess we’ll have to wait for Apple to fix it. There aren’t any new features in this update anyway.
Siri Shortcuts HomePod media playback. Don't know if the HomePod update is required for that
Screenshots or you guys are full of it.
I thought for the HomePod OS 12.0 update, you had to first update your iPhone to iOS 12.
No one is able to provide proof that they have installed HomePod OS 12.1.

Oh I thought it was just performance updates.
I haven’t been able to get any shortcuts working on my HomePod yet.
Great, so if there's a bug in 12.0 that prevents OTAs, that's hilarious. No way to update it then. WTH Apple...
The kicker is that even resetting it doesn't change that! I mean I would have thought that's the whole point in restoring to factory settings
Right but if this is true about a bug with 12.0 preventing OTAs, then this will prevent ALL future software updates from being able to be installed on it, not just this one.
I don't see how they can fix a device with a software update that can't take a software update...
How would they push a new update if the bug itself is preventing updates from being pushed?
Just talked to my developer contact at apple, they are rolling it out slowly, so just wait a bit , especially in other countries than USA....
Seems odd that it would be rolled out to HomePods running 11 but not 12. If it was a slow rollout, I would imagine it would be by region, not OS.
