        tlmgr update --all
    on a pretest installation will update all the engine binaries. 

Yes.

    often takes 48 hours after the binaries are built for them to show
    up on all the CTAN mirrors,

Pretest distribution doesn't involve CTAN. There are a few separate
pretest mirrors (more would be welcome).

    depending on your system architecture, the binaries may not have
    been built yet, 

True.

    so you'll probably have to wait a couple days before any engine
    updates will show up.

True even apart from how often mirrors sync: regardless of when the
binaries are rebuilt, I (usually) only regenerate the whole TL
distribution once per day, finishing around 02:30 German time.

Best,
Karl

P.S. I sent that rebuild request to the wrong list :).
