Correct. The freebsd-update metadata includes the EoL, so it's
initially populated with the projected EoL and gets adjusted when the
next release's schedule is released. I'm trying to see if we can
instead initially populate it with the branch EoL and adjust it to be
closer once the new schedule is released -- in theory, nobody uses
this for other reasons and they just won't notice as long as we get it
set right closer to EoL.
