I do it all the time:

$ sudo env UNAME_r=X.Y-RELEASE freebsd-update fetch install

Patch levels don't matter to freebsd-update, it will look at what's
actually installed and not what the kernel says (which is not
necessarily correct anyway, because some updates don't touch the
kernel).  It just needs to know the correct release.

Not sure what you mean by scope issues.
