That will install the updates for whichever version of ubuntu you have
not upgrade to the latest version of ubuntu. Updates are released to
patch the most important bugs - mostly just security problems - but not
to add features.

If you want to upgrade to a later version of ubuntu you need to change
which repository you are using. Searching
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ for upgrade gets the detailed
instructions for the various releases.
