I never build packages (and I've not done any system builds
in a vey long time, never having packaged one that I did build):
what I use for pkgbase testing is official upstream material
from https://pkg.freebsd.org/ via pkg-static that is using:
# cat /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/FreeBSD-base.conf
FreeBSD-base: {
url: "pkg+http://pkg.FreeBSD.org/${ABI}/base_latest",
mirror_type: "srv",
signature_type: "fingerprints",
fingerprints: "/usr/share/keys/pkg",
enabled: yes
}
There is no build of mine to be oddly done in some way.

Unsure.

Again: the following are from upstream, official builds, not
from me building or packaging anything. Note that it is not
the same snapshot that you show: It is from when I happened
to fetch the official materials of the time. But you can see
the exact snapshot naming, including the timestamp part
below.

#
The snapshot name and the vital line's status seem to be
the differences between your example and mine.
