In Software Update, and based on the fact your are running macOS 12.6, you should see the main upgrade for Ventura 13.2.1, and well below it, the text Another update is available with a More Info… link. If you have that and click on that link, a new update panel will appear with macOS 12.6.3 for installation. Ventura will not be installed.

Apple - Support - Downloads

carries all stand alone installers prior to 10.15.6


Keep in mind combo updates are to update any version of the upgrade prior to the combo update.


I.e. 10.15.6 combo will update 10.15, 10.15.1, 10.15.2, 10.15.3, 10.15.4, 10.15.5 to 10.15.6


10.15.6 delta will only update 10.15.5 to 10.15.6.
