There is nothing odd about it.

No. There is only 5.2.1. 5.2 was considered unpublishable for a
variety of reasons and 5.2.1 was released to replace it before any
vendors had actually started printing CDs. Anyone trying to cvsup 5.2
(RELENG_5_2) will get 5.2.1.

Why would anyone be confused by the fact that the successors to 4.0,
4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 4.4, 4.5, 4.6, 4.7, 4.8 and 4.9 are 4.10 and 4.11?
(4.6 actually ended up being named 4.6.2, much for the same reasons as
5.2 ended up as 5.2.1, but you get the idea)
