Things are a bit tricky, as Microsoft explains on the Windows Blog in the announcements for Preview Build 20277 and Build Build 21277. Windows 10 Insider Preview build 20277 is from the FE_RELEASE branch.
The Insider Preview build 20277, on the other hand, is from the RS_PRERELEASE branch. Microsoft wants to give Windows Insiders in the Dev Channel the opportunity to receive builds from the RS_PRERELEASE branch. These builds will be offered as an optional update via the search button in Windows Update.
This means that Insiders will have to select the currently offered RS_PRERELEASE build to install it. Insiders can choose to install build 21277. Once they do, they will continue to receive RS_PRERELEASE builds in the future.
Insiders who choose to install FE_RELEASE build 20277 will continue to automatically receive FE_RELEASE builds until Microsoft moves all Insiders in the Dev Channel to RS_PRERELEASE builds sometime after the holidays. Microsoft is still looking for Insiders to use FE_RELEASE builds and provide feedback on those builds. A bit complicated, regarding the details read the linked blog posts.
