from my own experience, `apt dist-upgrade` removes old kernels, `apt upgrade` still installed the new kernel, grub updated and booted into the new kernel.
all dist-upgrade did (for me) was delete the old kernels. which is something I would prefer not to do because it removes any ability to rollback should I *absolutely* need to.

Which distro? Debian for example always keeps two kernels: the curent one and the one in use before that, which is what I prefer, never had to rely on more than one backup kernel.
