Solved freebsd-update refusing to update.

uname -a shows I have 12.1-RELEASE-p3. When I run ...

freebsd-update fetch install

says ...

No updates needed to update system to 12.1-RELEASE-p4.

Why is this?

From freebsd-version(1)

The freebsd-version utility should provide the correct answer in the vast
majority of cases, including on systems kept up-to-date using
freebsd-update(8), which does not update the kernel version unless the
kernel itself was affected by the latest patch.
