Hi,
You can update SQL without stopping Skype services on FrontEnd servers. But there can still be something that goes wrong so you should maybe not doing this in the middle of the day when users are using Skype.

But you shouldn't start the CS services before upgrading the databases...
Did you know, you can check the database versions with this one-liner:
Test-CsDatabase -SqlServerFqdn <SQLServerFQDN> -ConfiguredDatabases | ft databasename,installedversion,expectedversion -AutoSize
