The freebsd-update mirrors do not have the latest updates for amd64 on
any supported RELEASE. The i386 bits are there, but not amd64. I do not
know if generating them failed or if something else happened that
prevented their deployment. It appears the updates are pulled not
pushed, so as soon as they are available on the master mirror they
should be distributed within a few minutes.

I have emailed secteam@ about it but have not yet heard back.
