Right, it is opposite.  It was a typo.

Anyway, __FreeBSD_version is not about compatibility between specific
snapshot of kernel and user sources.  It de-facto provides two technical
measures:
1. kernel refuses to load modules built against headers set with higher
   __FreeBSD_version than kernel
2. Some values of __FreeBSD_version are used by userspace to
   detect if specific change is present in kernel.  See sys/param.h
   P_OSREL_ list.
