Yes, both ftp.freebsd.org servers only update several times a day. As
with most security issues, there's a specific time the advisory gets
released so the patches cannot be uploaded beforehand and so after the
SA gets published there's a short period until both mirrors are updated.
At least one of them has the patches, the other one should have them or
get them soon.
