I am guessing this is a mistake?

I wouldn't call this a mistake, though. As you may know the service packs are cumulative update bundles, so this fix was likely aimed at SP3 before MS decided there are not enough fixes to justify an SP3. — 0xC0000022L, Jul 06 '15 at 10:26

No. There is no SP3.

You would be correct, there is no SP3 for Windows 2003. Here is a blog post from TechNet explaining this:

We have received inquiries from our customers and partners on whether or not there will be a need for a Service Pack 3 for Windows Server 2003. Microsoft will not have a SP3 release for Windows Server 2003.
