$upstream_http_content_type is the Content-Type response header from the
upstream server, after nginx has sent a request to the upstream server.

Before nginx has sent a request to the upstream server, the variable
has no value.

If you want to use variables to decide whether nginx should handle a
request by looking in the cache before asking upstream, you should only
use variables that are available in the request, not ones that come
from upstream.

(Maybe you can use part of the request uri -- starts with /images/ or
ends with .jpg or .png, for example? It depends on what requests your
clients will be making.)

Your expectation is wrong.
