No.
Please, read the chapter about "Update Manager" carefully: Linux Mint 18 User Guide pp. 43-49.
Specifically about the Update Manager levels on p. 46.

No. Level 1 means the most safe. Updates are given a level indicating how much of an impact they have on the operating system. I suggest to read the help file that comes with the Update Manager.

If your issue is solved, kindly indicate that by editing the first post in the topic, and adding [SOLVED] to the title. Thanks!

In addition to that, what karlchen said:

The meaning of the 5 levels is not their importance, but something quite different. What exactly depends from the version of Mint. So without knowing your Mint version more details cannot be given.

Regardless of the Mint version there is one special thing: Updates for the update manager must always get applied, as soon as they are available. If an update for the update manager is available, it blocks every other updates, as long as this update is not applied.
