Thank you, Ben, this makes sense. Is this behaviour configured in /etc/pkg/FreeBSD.conf, in which case I don’t see quite where. This is the conf from my STABLE which is pulling latest. Or am I looking in the wrong place?

# $FreeBSD: releng/11.0/etc/pkg/FreeBSD.conf 303975 2016-08-11 23:39:23Z gjb $
#
# To disable this repository, instead of modifying or removing this file,
# create a /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/FreeBSD.conf file:
#
#   mkdir -p /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos
#   echo "FreeBSD: { enabled: no }" > /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/FreeBSD.conf
#

FreeBSD: {
  url: "pkg+http://pkg.FreeBSD.org/${ABI}/quarterly",
  mirror_type: "srv",
  signature_type: "fingerprints",
  fingerprints: "/usr/share/keys/pkg",
  enabled: yes
}

Thank you,
Rafal
