freebsd-update: Cannot upgrade from a version that is not a release
(including alpha, beta and release candidates)
using freebsd-update. Instead, FreeBSD can be directly
upgraded by source or upgraded to a RELEASE/RELENG version
prior to running freebsd-update.
Currently running: 13.2-PRERELEASE

Yes, this is correct. You can use freebsd-update to upgrade from
a release/rc/beta to another release/rc/beta, but it doesn't handle
the stable branches and you're currently on stable/13.
