That will not work as-is. It will only look at the host's package database. To check the jails, see the pkg-version(8) man page about the PKG_DBDIR environment variable. Set that to the jail's package database directory, like /usr/jails/myjail/var/db/pkg, and then pkg-version will check the jail's packages.
