CachyOS based on Arch, with basically arch repos, so it have rolling release with frequent kernel updates. And yes, you need to reboot your system to apply kernel update, so CachyOS (cause it targets casual audience) explicitly prompts to user that reboot is needed, to avoid weird arch quirks like losing ability to connect new usb devices after kernel update (arch is quirky like that). Better safe than sorry.
You can just, well, not update that frequent. My server also running arch, I update it like, each couple of months, updated packages will just pile up and go in one update, that the beauty of rolling release (the ugly side is that no one tests if big update like that will work or not, so you may end up with dead system or it just wont update for example, lmao).
