Anyway, what I meant was, I was on 5.8.1, I removed the update blocker file trick and let my kindle update ota, but it brought me to 5.8.2.1. Not 5.8.5.
Why would my kindle download not the newest update?
I understand that I can update manually, but I tried ota instead.

OTA update jobs are queued on the Kindle in its 'to do' list and it only queues one OTA update at a time.
(You can find that in the messages log. Searchbar ;dm
It is also most likely why the old firmware downloads remain on the download server forever, there is no telling the oldest job queued of all customer Kindles.)
Amazon moved the download locations on s3.amazonaws.com at about the same time as the 5.8.5 release.
Q.E.D: Your Kindle had the old pathname queued, not the new pathname. (or some other screw-up by Amazon/Lab126 in the relocation).
tl;dr: It is working as intended.
Just install it manually, the only difference is the waiting time.
