WSUS self update error

Hi for all.
I have WSUS master server with next self update history:
wsus 3.2.7600.226 - wsus 3.2.7600.251 - wsus 3.2.7600.256
256 is last version of update for Windows 8 clients.
Master server is always work great but replica servers are problem.
All wsus replica servers are 3.2.7600.226 version. Because of that (older version server then clients WUA) all computers on replica server had status "not yet reprted".
Is this correct way to solve problem:
I am install on all replica server update "KB2720211" and now my replica servers are 3.2.7600.251.
Computers on replica servers now have correct status and I am happy after a month of suffering with this error.
Shoud the replica servers console automatically update from WSUS master server for example to newer wsus version 3.2.7600.256?

All wsus replica servers are 3.2.7600.226 version.
So patch the replica servers, too!

No, you've installed KB2734608 on the upstream server; you need to install KB2734608 on the replica servers, also.
Should the replica servers console automatically update from WSUS master server for example to newer wsus version 3.2.7600.256?
No, you also need to apply KB2734608 to every remote console system as well.

I had a lot of problems with apply KB2720211 on WSUS replica servers (Windows server 2003) and I solve that with this steps from someone:
1.Download the KB2720211 installer for your architecture from Microsoft (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2720211)
2.Extract WUSSetup.msp from the installer by running the installer with the /extract parameter (example: "WSUS-KB2720211-x64.exe /extract")
3.With 7-zip, open WUSSetup.msp and extract "PCW_CAB_SUS".
4.With 7-zip, open "PCW_CAB_SUS" and extract "DbCert", "DbCertDll", and "DbCertSql".
5.Rename those files to "WSUSSignDb.cer", "WSUSSignDb.dll", and "WSUSSignDb.sql", respectively.
6.On your WSUS server, navigate to "C:\Windows\SYSMSI\SSEE\MSSQL.2005\MSSQL\SchemaSig" and copy the extracted "WSUSSignDb.cer" and "WSUSSignDb.dll" to it. Make a backup copy of the two existing versions, just in case.
7.On your WSUS server, navigate to "C:\Program Files\Update Services\Database" and copy the extracted "WSUSSignDb.sql" to it. Make a backup copy of any existing versions of the file.
At this point, you should (cross your fingers!) be able to try reinstalling the 2720211 patch and see if it finishes. If it does, your WSUS should be back to normal. I realize that this was a lot of steps, but this is what I did to get my server up and running again. I hope it works for you!I am try to install KB2734608 patch to one replica server and I was have error like on this topic:
I am found next solution from Giuseppe:
"I have this problem with a WSUS that is an 'ConfigMgr update point'.
I've solved disabling and stopping before the update:
- SMS_EXECUTIVE
- Update Services
- World Wide Web Publishing Service
After the update reenable and start the previous services.
Hope this help you"
This is too much trouble to install two WSUS patch, but finally, I think that everything will work as expected.
Thanks to everyone here for help.
