Yes if MS provides a downloaded ESD. I am on 15063 Fast Ring. if I change to the Release Preview Ring I will stay on that build till RS3 is released and MS does the same thing. Without intervention all you get are updates, CU's faster than non insiders.
The Release Preview update I just did came as ESD.
ESD to ISO - Create Bootable ISO from Windows 10 ESD File - Page 83 - Windows 10 Installation Upgrade Tutorials
Changed back to the Fast Ring on the physical machine. I don't think it makes much difference right now
Released to Release Preview Ring around 10 PM UK time yesterday - Upgrade took around 30 Minutes
Forgot to add
At one point during the install the screen was black and totally empty, for several minutes, which was a worry, but it sorted itself - of course YMMV

That's obvious, since UUP was only introduced in 15xxx builds, on Insider program. My purpose was not to imply a question of why or to seem surprised, but to affirm the content for anyone familiar with the ESD to ISO process. In case they wanted to make an ISO. Hence, my link with the post pointing to that tutorial.
