It most certainly does not ignore pinning. Your pinning was probably
wrong. Like, one user had their entire file indented and thus no pins
were read because everything was treated as a comment.
You might want to ask in a user support channel for assistance with
pinning.

On Ubuntu 17.10 apt ignores pinning set in /etc/apt/preferences.
I added the proposed repo and set the pinning for it to 400. Despite
this, apt showed everything in proposed as upgradeable.
