Not quite, there are multiple upgrade paths "to 2056", which depends
on which build one currently has.

There always is a "full" upgrade type - download complete rev2056 and
flash all of it.

There are also "delta" upgrade paths e.g. "2055 -> 2056", "2054 ->
2056", "2053 -> 2054", which means:
* if you are on 2053 - two delta updates will be applied, one to
upgrade to 2054 and another one to upgrade to 2056
* if you are on 2054 or 2055 - one delta update will be applied to
upgrade straight to 2056

If you look at the real upgrade manifest (e.g.
https://system-image.ubuntu.com/devel-proposed/mako/index.json ) you
can see that there is { "type": "full" } for each revision, but also
one or more { "base": XXX , "type": "delta" } updates for each {
"version": YYY }.
