You cannot patch to an higher version, you need to upgrade if you want to. While both looks similar, applying the recommended patches will only patch some of the existing packages (security patches and bug fixes) while upgrading will upgrade all packages that have evolved and also add new packages that might have appear in the meantime.

or what is the difference to my version with latest patchset ?
4 years, unless you already applied patches.

Not exactly, see my previous reply about patching vs upgrading.

stg-sink
STG-SINK(1) StGit Manual STG-SINK(1)
NAME
stg-sink - Send patches deeper down the stack
SYNOPSIS
stg sink [-t <target patch>] [-n] [<patches>]
DESCRIPTION
This is the opposite operation of linkstg:float[]: move the specified patches down the stack. It is for example useful to group stable
patches near the bottom of the stack, where they are less likely to be impacted by the push of another patch, and from where they can be
more easily committed or pushed.
If no patch is specified on command-line, the current patch gets sunk. By default patches are sunk to the bottom of the stack, but the --to
option allows to place them under any applied patch.
Sinking internally involves popping all patches (or all patches including <target patch>), then pushing the patches to sink, and then
(unless --nopush is also given) pushing back into place the formerly-applied patches.
OPTIONS
-n, --nopush
Do not push back on the stack the formerly-applied patches. Only the patches to sink are pushed.
-t TARGET, --to TARGET
Specify a target patch to place the patches below, instead of sinking them to the bottom of the stack.
-k, --keep
Keep the local changes.
