Really?
My man page says otherwise:
pkg upgrade [-fInFqUy] [-r reponame] [-Cgix]
[<pkg-origin|pkg-name|pkg-name-version> ...]
...
pkg upgrade compares the versions of all or specific packages installed
on the system to what is available in the configured package reposito-
ries. Any out-of-date packages are added to a work list for processing.
Note the "...or specific packages...".
I think what you say was true for early versions of pkg, but sometime
recently this has changed (for the better).
