Last paragraph

In the following sentence "Changes inside a microservice boundary (as shown in Figure 1-1) shouldn’t affect an upstream consumer, enabling independent releasability of functionality.", why is the consumer upstream? Should it not be downstream consumer as the consuming applications/services/users depend on upstream services?
I have searched about how upstream and downstream is being used in technical discussions on the web and it seems correct terminology would be downstream consumers and upstream producers.
Please clarify if my understanding is incorrect.
