Have you checked the man page for freebsd-update(8) ?
cron Sleep a random amount of time between 1 and 3600 seconds,
then download updates as if the fetch command was used. If
updates are downloaded, an email will be sent (to root or a
different address if specified via the -t option or in the
configuration file).
Sounds exactly like the expected behavior to me.
So, the cron subcommand only does the 'fetch' part of freebsd-update.
You'll still need to run 'freebsd-update install' to actually install
the updates.
