Wild guess: you *do* have
deb http://security.debian.org/ stable/updates main
in your /etc/apt/sources.list, don't you?

Well it could, but probably didn't. It may just be somewhere else (or
not mirrored to begin with). Wander around your mirrors equivalent of
dists/potato and see what's there. Security updates go into 'updates'
first and whether/when they will be merged into 'main' ... who knows?
