I haven't experienced this, upgrading from pkg 2.1.4 to 2.2.0 (using Latest) on
my 14.3-R. On my system I cannot reproduce this when again starting with pkg
2.1.4 (with a clean pkg cache); however, your environment will no doubt be
different.

Your command
# pkg upgrade

tries to consider upgrading every installed package. This might have resulted
in comparing quite a number of installed packages with the packages available
remotely; also a lot of dependencies may have been involved and might have
caused the infinite loop, though I cannot corroborate that. 

AFAIK the running pkg (that is 2.1.4 in this case) is first trying to upgrade
itself (to 2.2.0 here); I don't know how much 'other processing' is undertaken
before pkg tries to upgrade itself.

Your solution/workaround seems to have worked effectively. As alternatives to
this 'pkg add' route, users facing the same problem in trying to get pkg
upgraded to 2.2.0 might consider trying:
# pkg upgrade pkg

or even:
# pkg upgrade -r FreeBSD pkg

thereby limiting this to upgrading only the pkg package.
