Thanks so much - I was convinced I had read in some MediaWiki FAQ that I´d need to have intermediate updates if I update from 1.5 "only".
Putting it politely; probably some paranoid end-user who decided to "helpfully" change the documentation to reflect their own experience.
There should, as MinuteElectron says, be absolutely no issues with upgrading from any version of MediaWiki to any higher version. In the past, people have been careful about the jump from 1.4.x. to 1.5.x or higher, mainly due to the massive table changes involved, and the possibility of various delightful issues arising from that, but in general, that isn't an issue these days.
