No, step 3 should be revised to say: Upgrade/install the new mythtv
packages on the backend(s).
And then step 5 should say: Run mythtv-setup on the master backend. The
database will automatically be upgraded.

The database needs to be upgraded only once for a mythtv "cluster", not
once per machine. And the best place to upgrade it is on the master backend
machine, using mythtv-setup.
