The behavior of such a upgrade command strongly depends on if the
FreeBSD-base status is enabled vs. not. Enabled, the command does a
"pkg update -r FreeBSD-base" first (implicitly) that is effective;
disabled, that implicit activity is not done, making it likely that the
upgrade command will report that FreeBSD-base is up to date unless prior
activity caused such an effective update earlier.
