Modify othercatalogs section to look like this:

                <string>index-10.15-10.14-10.13-10.12-10.11-10.10-10.9-mountainlion-lion-snowleopard-leopard.merged-1.sucatalog</string>

 sudo chflags uchg /Library/Server/Software\ Update/Config/swupd.plist
 
 If you do not set uchg flags on files, server app will change them back to apple's defaults.
