saltstack how to verify variable from jinja, result wrong from if statement

Question

I was trying to write a state to set patching status, the if statement based on a result from a cmd.run, I checked the result that it should be 'No', meaning no available patches, but my state return said otherwise.

I checked:-

# salt 'minion1' cmd.run "yum --security check-update | grep 'for security'| awk '{print \$1}'"
minion1:
    No
#

My state file:-

{% set minion = salt['cmd.run']("yum --security check-update | grep 'for security'| awk '{print \$1}'") %}

{% if minion|float == 'No' %}
no_patch:
  cmd.run:
    - name: echo "no update"

{% else %}
patch_pls:
  cmd.run:
    - name: echo "Patch please"

{% endif %}

my run result:-

minion1:
----------
          ID: patch_pls
    Function: cmd.run
        Name: echo "Patch please"
      Result: True
     Comment: Command "echo "Patch please"" run
     Started: 12:22:10.894779
    Duration: 10.047 ms
     Changes:
              ----------
              pid:
                  19397
              retcode:
                  0
              stderr:
              stdout:
                  Patch please

Summary for minion1
------------
Succeeded: 1 (changed=1)
Failed:    0
------------
Total states run:     1
Total run time:  10.047 ms

Been spending hours trying to figure it out but just feeling defeated and frustrated right now.

You're my last hope. Thanks in advance.
