uname(1) would still reflect the kernel version as -p10 as -p11 and
-p12 were for the recent OpenSSL updates in SA-15:06 (link below).
This is a reason for freebsd-version(1) being introduced in 10.0+ to
reduce confusion on userland/kernel versions.

It would appear there is nothing in /usr/src.  These errors would be
expected since that doesn't exist.  You should remove the 'src'
keyword current in the default 'Components src world kernel' line in
/etc/freebsd-update.conf.  That would keep freebsd-update(8) from
trying to maintain source and prevent the errors from happening again.
