After you check out the sources, do

  hg update stable

The "tip" is just the latest version in the archive.  It's not
necessarily the latest changeset on the branch that is in your current
working directory.  The command

  hg heads

will show you the current heads of all the branches.  If you want to
know where you are on the branch you are currently working in, do
something like

  hg heads $(hg branch)

(bash syntax).
