Apple rolled out a new Java update for Mac OS X 10.4.10 and 10.4.11 on Friday. Java for Mac OS X 10.4 Release 6 improves reliability and compatibility with Java SE 5.0 and Java 1.4 and includes J2SE 5.0 version 1.5.0_13, and Java 1.4.2_16. The update is free and available via Software Update or as a download from the Apple Support Web site.

I run 10.5.1 and this Java update was not brought up by Software Update, so I assume 10.5 already has it or there is some problem with the update and 10.5.
The 10.4.10 and higher seems misleading
It is not misleading. The site states specifically it is a 10.4 update. The "and higher" refers to updating 10.4.10 and 10.4.11. If there is a 10.4.12 (which is doubtful) it would probably apply to that too (although it would most likely be rolled into that build).
I have Leopard with Developer installed on a MacBook, the java self-reports, and the entries in /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions confirms it's only patched to 1.5.
