They are intended as future goals for the game. When those award challenges were introduced to the game there was only 12 pictures. Each update brings 1-2 new pictures, so the game has slowly been expanding to reach those goals, and it will not be long before there are 30 pictures.

You can still get the Order's High Seeker top award level now though, without waiting for there to be 30 pictures in the game. When those awards were introduced the highest picture level available in the game was High Seeker, but later an update introduced the Academician and Magister (and then later another update introduced Professor level) after High Seeker. So now achieving Academician level on a picture counts as getting an extra picture to High Seeker level. All you need to do to achieve the top level of the Order's High Seeker award is get 28 pictures to High Seeker, and then get 2 of those pictures to Academician. Or you could just get 15 pictures to Academician level (each will count twice, once as High Seeker is reached, and a second time as Academician is reached) or any other varation in between of getting pictures to High Seeker/Academician, as long as the total is 30.
