That seems fine to me.

I am not sure upgrading from the "old" stable to snapshots is supported, 
though. It will most likely work. You may want to upgrade to the actual 
-stable and then to the snapshot, to make sure.

Also, remember to check https://www.openbsd.org/faq/current.html before 
you upgrade to the next snapshot to ensure you are aware of pitfalls.

The last command would rather be "pkg_add -D snap -u" or something 
similar. I like to always provide it for -current installs.
