Fabiano Caruana's live rating was 2804 right before the ratings updated for December. I thought the rating for December of him was suppose to be that number, but it's not. This is also be said for other top players. I'm so confused.

The FIDE rating list is published on the last day of the month. The game that put Caruana over 2800 was played after the list was published. If he doesn't play any classical chess over December, his rating will be that in January.
