Last release to current almost always works. So 14.0 to current is doable.
I did 14.0 beta1 -> current 3 weeks ago.

Etcupdate pre mode, Buildworld, buildkernel, installkernel, reboot,
installworld, etcupdate, reboot -r

But OP said they did that twice, once for stale/14 and once for main so I'm
not sure what is going on.  Need error message i think.
