Your clients do not need to

Your clients do not need to be updated the newer SEPM will happily manage the older clients.  That said, I would personally recommend upgrading them when you can.  MR2 is fairly old and the MR5 clients have performance improvements.

Upgrade to RU 5

Do the clients have to be updated from  original 11.0.2 install that was in use?  YES

What are potential issues if client not updated?  Compatibility with the new features of the latest version  

Steps to create new client install from updated SEP Manager?  First upgrade the SEPM. The below screenshot should help.

Hi

SEPM 11.5 can manage older clients, without any issues.
Thats how we upgrade , we first upgrade the manager to 11.5 that does not stop clients from connecting to new manager ,coz even they need to be upgraded.
you need not have to go much with upgrade just use the autoupgrade feature, clients will be upgraded to new version automatically
MU5 has loads of fixes, systems would work better in MU5 so please upgrade..
