No, you didn't get what I was asking. "man freebsd-version" doesn't help in this issue. The reason why my freebsd-update always tries "Fetching metadata signature for *10.2-STABLE* from update.FreeBSD.org" is because I used the wrong kernel source (the stable branch) to build my custom kernel, hence uname -r shows 10.2-STABLE. I guess freebsd-update uses uname to determine system version. I recompiled the kernel using https://svn.freebsd.org/base/releng/10.2 and now freebsd-update works fine.
