'hg help update' says (emphasis added):

    Update the working directory to the specified revision, or the
    tip *of the current branch* if none is specified.

My guess is that you're using named branches, and it updated to the
latest commit in the current branch, which isn't necessarily the tip.

Run "hg branches" to confirm you have multiple branches. From there, you
might want to merge them ("hg merge"), or you might not.
