As stands the instructions do not even mention freebsd-update
being inappropriate. The referenced material that at at:

https://www.freebsd.org/releases/15.0R/relnotes/#upgrade

and:

https://www.freebsd.org/releases/15.0R/relnotes/#upgrade-rc

Also makes no mention of how to handle starting from a
pkgbase'd 14.* for an upgrade.

https://lists.freebsd.org/archives/freebsd-pkgbase/2025-December/001138.html

is an example of someone asking about upgrading from a
"a basified 14.3-RELEASE-p6 system".
