When you have backports in your sources.list, you don't automatically get your upgrades from there. Once you do install one for the first time, subsequent upgrades come from backports. But in the case of iceweasel, version bumps also require new packages for xulrunner and libmozjs, and that prevents automatic upgrades: iceweasel's is kept back by apt. Default apt preferences for the iceweasel packages would ensure stable users that use backports sources will always get the latest.
