>From the freebsd-update man page:

"Note that updates are only available if they are being built for the
FreeBSD release and architecture being used; in particular, the
FreeBSD Security Team only builds updates for releases shipped in
binary form by the FreeBSD Release Engineering Team, e.g., FreeBSD
9.3-RELEASE and FreeBSD 10.1-RELEASE, but not FreeBSD 9.3-STABLE or
FreeBSD 11-CURRENT."
