Can anyone explain what this actually means when I use freebsd-update?

It tells me I don't need any updates to go to p5, but then it says I should upgrade from p1?

# freebsd-update fetch
Looking up update.FreeBSD.org mirrors... 3 mirrors found.
Fetching metadata signature for 14.2-RELEASE from update1.freebsd.org... done.
Fetching metadata index... done.
Inspecting system... done.
Preparing to download files... done.

No updates needed to update system to 14.2-RELEASE-p5.

WARNING: FreeBSD 14.2-RELEASE-p1 is approaching its End-of-Life date.
It is strongly recommended that you upgrade to a newer
release within the next 3 days.
# freebsd-update install

@loke If you want to upgrade to FreeBSD 14.3 using 'freebsd-update', this procedure worked for me: freebsd.org/releases/14.3R/ins
