3.6.2 was released on the 12th and it's been on all the CRAN mirrors I, er, "monitor", including the cran.r-project.org site (https://cran.r-project.org/bin/macosx/R-3.6.2.pkg).

As discussed before we cannot notarize any version of R before 4.0.0 so Catalina users have to either stick to 3.5.1 (since Apple has grand-fathered installers create before Catalina) or use the Ctrl+click way to install R 3.6.2.
