Unfortunately, these changes have nothing to do with owners of the high-end Redmi K30 Pro, Xiaomi Mi 10, and Mi 10 Pro. These three, according to Xiaomi, will not receive MIUI 12 beta updates for three weeks, excluding the latest rollout.

Here is what Xiaomi says about the suspended MIUI 12 updates for Mi 10, Mi 10 Pro and Redmi K30 Pro handsets:

In order to improve the communication performance and stability of the mobile phone, we will upgrade the Qualcomm baseline. Update [MIUI 12 beta] is suspended for Mi 10, Mi 10 Pro, Redmi K30 Pro. It is expected to resume in three weeks. This upgrade does not affect the stable version.

Although the trio will not receive MIUI beta updates for three weeks, this will not affect the rollout of the stable version. But what remains unclear is whether the Mi 10 and Mi 10 Pro will receive MIUI 12 update globally during this time to match their Chinese counterparts.

As part of the MIUI 12 beta 20.6.11 release notes, Xiaomi also points out that the Mi 8, Mi 8 UD, Mi 8 Transparent Edition, Mi 8 SE, Mi 8 Lite, Mi Mix 2S, Mi Max 3, and Mi Mix 3 will stop receiving MIUI beta updates as from September 25, 2020.
