That's not entirely correct. One of the reasons for wanting fixes to land in higher suites before stable is to avoid the risk of upgrade regressions. If stable receives a fix first, then users upgrading to testing afterwards would become vulnerable to the fixed issues again. We can (and I may) assume that the fix will make it to unstable and testing before the point release in which an updated package could be added to stable, but if that doesn't happen for some reason then it can make the work of preparing and executing the point release more difficult and disruptive, particularly for a package with many reverse dependencies that may also have been updated via p-u in the same point release cycle (such as mariadb).
