To expand a bit, that command will update to the 2.6.9 release. You don't see a 2.6 branch because it has been marked as closed.  hg branches -c will show all branches.  hg update -C 2.6 will update to the latest head of the 2.6 branch but that should essentially be the same as the tag v2.6.9.

hg help branches
