I upgraded a system from 14.3 and had similar problems.
 
I solved this by adding the FreeBSD-pkg-bootstrap-15.0.pkg package as described in the release notes. https://www.freebsd.org/releases/15.0R/relnotes/#upgrade
 
My full upgrade procedure is described in this post: https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/upgrade-from-14-3-to-15-0-release-using-pkgbase-wrong-packagesite-and-no-trusted-public-keys-found.100527/#post-730469
 
Other than that I also had the "problem" that 15.0 doesnt have man installed by default and a few orphaned from 14.3.
