Hi Nathan,
The behavior of 'pkg info -r' is to show you the most recent version
available in the remote repository.  That remote version may or may
not be installable due to local restrictions (in your case, it's the
omnios-userland package, which incorporates on the r151006 version of
gnu-patch).  See pkg(5) for an explanation of incorporate
dependencies.

In the case of LTS and r151008, these versions are in the same repo.
Starting with r151010, there is a separate repo per release, which
will causes fewer problems and less confusion for users.

Eric
