Using Emacs 26.3, suddenly any package I install from Melpa shows Available Obsolete from melpa -- Install
. All used to be fine. What is causing this?

That message confused me too. It turns out it's just a poor choice of words for saying that there's a new version available.

Once you update the list of packages with M-x package-refresh-contents
, then you can type U x
and it will upgrade all installed packages that have a more recent version available.
Once that is one, the message you see when you open the description of an updated package will be:
Package x is installed.
