I often upgrade to the latest version early, however, .23 had some new ACP issues for me and .24 killed my Raspberry Pi with kernel watchdog reboots due to bug #72270. So I rolled back to .22 as this is the last good copy for me. I noticed that the WebUI is asking if I want to upgrade to to .23, and not .24, and this made me think. When I do upgrade from .22, do I need to hop through the intermediate versions or can I upgrade direct to the latest?

Short answer: you can upgrade direct to the latest; no need to hop through .23 first.
openclaw update resolves your current channel target, fetches that version, runs doctor, and restarts the gateway. Stable maps to npm latest; the docs also recommend openclaw update --dry-run to preview the target before applying. (docs.openclaw.ai)
For your case I’d do:
openclaw update status
openclaw update --dry-run
If it shows a version you trust, then:
openclaw update
