I could have sworn upgrading this way used to be simpler, an early on checkbox to say upgrade, picking up mount points, etc. from an existing, without me having to remember what options belong in fstab, instead of pretending to go through a fresh installation.
An upgrade from 13.2 32-bit to Leap 42 64-bit is probably more like a fresh installation than a simple upgrade.
So is upgrade from 64-bit 13.2 to 64-bit Leap, IMHO. You need to change all repositories, reinstall all packages, regenerate initrd(s) and reinstall the bootloader. All you can keep are config files (most of them, that is) and files which are not part of a package. And all this is the same, whether you change the architecture or not. A substantial difference may be in third party software and software you built yourself. There may be also minor details, e.g. if a config file contains absolute paths to files in /usr/lib that should be changed to /usr/lib64. But as far as the distribution goes, the scope of the upgrade (in the sense of "more like a fresh installation") is about the same.
