Silent Promotion

Not sure if maybe someone has any recommendations or I can at least. There was an org wide promotion email and 3 people on my team were promoted to senior in their roles. I am happy for them as they totally deserve it. Then my manager followed up with an email to just my team explaining the new senior roles and respective responsibilities. There were 4 people listed, I was surprisingly one of them with a senior title, however I did not get a promotion. I am not sure how to handle this as I felt a bit awkward since I was the only one in that email that didn’t get a promotion but had a title change to senior and role expectations.

Side note: I know I am the highest paid on the team, so it feels petty to complain and if our small team only got so many promos, it should go to the lesser paid first. However it just didn’t feel good and starting to think this job might not be worth it, two years in next month. Do I privately ask HR if that was expected? Maybe he is waiting for end of year to promote me? I don’t want to start some weird beef with my manager. But if I don’t get a promo by end of year results, I’m looking elsewhere. Shit’s getting expensive. Rant over, thanks.
