Windows Defender sometimes updates itself independantly from the Windows Update dialog.

So Windows Update recognises the definition update and notifies you. Meanwhile Windows Defender is automatically installing that very same update. You respond to the Windows Update notification, but it now knows that either the update is in the process of being installed, or has been installed. In both instances, you will get an error through Windows Update.

Nothing to worry about. Just the messy way Windows works!
