All of that is explained in the handbook.
The cvs tag of 6.2-RELEASE is RELENG_6_2_0_RELEASE.
It never changes, so it doesn't make sense to update
to it once you have it.
The cvs tag of the 6.2 security branch (sometimes
referred to as "6.2-stable", although this is a rather
confusing name) is RELENG_6_2. It does mainly include
security fixes only, but no bug fixes (except maybe
very critical ones), and no new features.
The cvs tag of the stable branch ("6-stable") is
RELENG_6. It includes all bug fixes and new stuff
merged from -current. When ever a new release is made,
a new security "sub-branch" is created off the stable
branch.
If you followed -stable so far (i.e. RELENG_6), I suggest
you continue to do so, especially if you don't have any
problems so far. Just wait for 6.3-Release to become
available, and then you can decide whether you stay with
the 6.3 security branch (which will be RELENG_6_3) or
continue to track 6-stable, or even jump on the FreeBSD 7
train.
Going back to the 6.2 security branch would be a step
backwards. Don't do that unless you have problems that
would be fixed by that step.
Best regards
