Since you didn't already have pkg, it was bootstrapped here, and marked
it as non-automatic.

This deleted pkg even though it was marked as non-automatic, because
that's what the -f flag does, cf. pkg-delete(8).

This installed pkg as a build dependency of sudo, and marked it as
automatic.

This removed pkg because it was marked as automatic and had no
dependents.

Yes, it did exactly what you asked it to do.
