Since Tails only reports when it fails to upgrade, not when it succeeds I want to know where I can check to see if I have the latest version.

Tails Upgrader should run automatically when Tails connects to the Tor network after startup. There shouldn't be a need to check the version manually: Tails should keep itself up to date.

If, for whatever reason, your system was unable to connect to the Tor network at startup (e.g. if you didn't have a network connection), then you can run the upgrader manually from the command line using tails-upgrade-frontend-wrapper.

The upgrader will tell you if your version is out of date.

If you really just want to check the version without relying on the upgrader, then run the following: cat /etc/amnesia/version.
