It's because freebsd-update only provides the three-way merge 
functionality during release upgrades.  It's not done for regular 
updates.  I haven't the slightest why.

Unfortunately you're left to do the merge by hand in this case.

FWIW, you can have a local config while leaving the distributed file 
unmodified by using a separate sshd_config.local file.  Put your changes 
in that, add:

	Include /etc/ssh/sshd_config

as the last line, and add:

	sshd_flags="-f /etc/ssh/sshd_config.local"

to /etc/rc.conf.
