They are patched up to and including the day they are created. There are no ongoing patches.

One of the big pluses with LL is the ability to install older kernel versions easily.

However, what I would like to know please is whether these are patched with updates as and when they occur?

Using uname -a suggests that they are frozen in time as the dates are old.
