That warning is simply letting you know that if you update SSH while you are connected, you might lose your connection. If that happens, a second ssh session has been opened on another port that you can connect to using:
ssh -p 1022 user@your.ip.address
Additional, the console in the DigitalOcean control panel connects to the droplet directly. If you lose connectivity over the network, you can always fall back to the console.
