As vermaden says use latest/quarterly consistently. This is a sufficient
/usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/FreeBSD.conf, the values are merged with
/etc/pkg/FreeBSD.conf:
FreeBSD-base: { enabled: yes }
FreeBSD-ports: { url: "https://pkg.FreeBSD.org/${ABI}/latest"; }
FreeBSD-ports-kmods: { url:
"pkg+https://pkg.FreeBSD.org/${ABI}/kmods_latest_${VERSION_MINOR}";, enabled:
yes }

This is consistent with base pkg install after upgrading.

And this is not. Are there any other files in /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/*.conf ?
Or is it possible you used `base_latest` at any point in your pkg testing?
That would seem to be the most likely explanation.
