There are not really "updates", if I understand what you mean by that correctly.
Reading the entire article, might help you understand better. Quote:

For i386/amd64 architectures syspatch(8) is an easier way to update the base installation.
syspatch(8) essentially installs a binary that was generated by OpenBSD developers using the patch referenced in @GarryR post. Note that this only patches the core installation and not subsequently installed ports. There are several mechanisms to update ports: 1) jggimi howto 2) M:tier updates 3) Firefox updates |

New releases and security announcements (errata patches) are announced via the announce@ mailing list.

The current -stable version is based on the release 6.2 and has already received 3 updates (https://www.openbsd.org/errata62.html) in order to fix bugs, security, etc... You shouldn't wait for the release 6.3 in order to get those problems fixed. Code:
# syspatch Concerning the ports, you can read the man pages or the links provided above. Again, you can sync with cvs repo, then recompile the concerned ports. Or you cna use openup provided by M:Tier. It is not official but the team behind are also OpenBSD devs. Basically to update both you system + ports: Code:
# openup |
