One possible cause may be that 'pkg' is sensitive to kernel versions (uname
-K).

I have seen the behaviour on more than one 12-CURRENT, where server is version
1200054 and an updated pkg is compiled on 1200056, that packages with same
package version as in repository get on the list of 'to be REMOVED'.
After reinstalling these packages (with same version numbers) all is OK.

When trying to force an update of package database this is what shows up:
# pkg update -f
Updating FreeBSD repository catalogue...
Fetching meta.txz: 100%    944 B   0.9kB/s    00:01    
Fetching packagesite.txz: 100%    5 MiB   2.4MB/s    00:02    
Processing entries:   0%
pkg: Newer FreeBSD version for package desktop-file-utils:
- package: 1200056
- running kernel: 1200054
pkg: repository FreeBSD contains packages for wrong OS version:
FreeBSD:12:aarch64
Processing entries: 100%
Unable to update repository FreeBSD
Error updating repositories!

My conclusion: Keep up with new kernel versions.
(And 'pkg upgrade -f' after OS upgrade)
