Not true. Snow Leopard is older. The latest version you can install is OS X El Capitan 10.11.6.

iMac 24” 2007 tops out at OS X 10.11, and a direct upgrade from OS X 10.8 works.
Have a backup prior to the upgrade.
Here is more info, including version requirements and kit download links:

OS X 10.11 will require manually adding the “new” LetsEncrypt root certificate, if you plan to use Safari or other tools to access websites using those certificates.

Mind the details around the process for getting an installable kit from a downloaded copy of OS X 10.11, too.
