The aaa_base only contains the directory structure of Slackware ( /* dirs, and I guess that /{usr,var}/* and /usr/local/* directories too)
Although there shouldn't be any risk updating that (other than maybe a few warnings when uninstalling it, saying that some directories aren't empty...), there shouldn't ever be a need to actually upgrade it.
The aaa_elflibs contains a collection of basic libraries already present in other slackware packages (a few required a/ and l/ libraries). The idea is to save you in the case you select a non-full installation and omit some crucial libraries.
But precisely because of that, you shouldn't upgrade the package, since it contains libraries present in other packages, and would end up overwritting them (aaa_elflibs sometimes contains an older version of a few libs).
If you followed me, then you might realize that it *could* (I haven't tried it) be possible to upgrade aaa_elflibs, if it's done before everything else. But once again, it shouldn't be needed, ever.
