You didn't do anything wrong, you just took an unexpected upgrade path.
In the future though, you may find these guys helpful:

They rebuild the install ISO images periodically *with* the latest
updates.  Their main point is to reduce update-time after you install,
but I think you discovered an even more compelling reason for them to do
what they're doing.

Note: those are unofficial images.  That said, I've used them and they
worked fine for me.
