This looks weird. Even if apt-daily is run in 18h again, there
will be still a gap of 2 hours to running apt-daily-upgrade.
Why wait?
I would suggest to add
[Service]
ExecStartPre=/usr/lib/apt/apt.systemd.daily update
to the apt-daily-upgrade service to make sure the local index
files are up-to-date. The previous download of the packages
run by apt-daily might have failed (if configured).
