with my setup as it is, can

If you go back to 6.2-STABLE, you'll be left with a system that
can never be updated again since 6.2-STABLE no longer exists. Any
time you updated it, the name would change again which you seem to
have a problem with.
If you keep following RELENG_6, you'll end up running 6.3-STABLE after
the release. Or, you could choose to run 6.2-RELEASE (RELENG_6_2) or
6.3-RELEASE (RELENG_6_3) after it's released.
For right now, there's really no difference between 6.2-STABLE
and 6.3-PRERELEASE. If you do nothing, you'll eventually be
running 6.3-STABLE.
