	You are almost certainly running it - 12.0p11 was just timezone
updates over p10 so no kernel update which means your unchanged kernel will
still report p10 (which is what uname sees), freebsd-version will report the
userland version or optionally the kernel version viz:

$ uname -a
FreeBSD steve 12.0-RELEASE-p10 FreeBSD 12.0-RELEASE-p10 GENERIC  amd64
$ freebsd-version
12.0-RELEASE-p11
freebsd-version -k
12.0-RELEASE-p10
