freebsd-update not updating kernel?

It looks to me from what I'm pasting below as if there is a kernel out
there somewhere for 9.3-RELEASE-p45, but freebsd-update is unable/unwilling
to fetch it.  I've also got Virtualbox segfaulting, which frequently
happens to me mid-upgrade when there's a kernel/package mismatch.

Does anyone have an explanation for what's happening here?
