I saw this in the Software app in the updates section. Could this be an indicator for Zorin OS 17 releasing soon?
No.
Flatpak and Snap are Containerized Apps that carry their own dependencies with them. So Flatpak or Snap packages will bring along elements of Gnome 44 desktop if they depend on those elements.
These apps are sandboxed in containers and are independent of the system.
