Based on pkg metadata, I don't think the default/latest pkg repo has been updated at all for the past 10 days:

$ TZ=UTC ls -lt /var/db/pkg           
total 76255
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel  90916864 Jun  2 23:25 local.sqlite
-r--r--r--  1 root  wheel   6688991 Jun  1 08:15 vuln.xml
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel       158 May 23 14:21 FreeBSD.meta
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel  51232768 May 23 14:21 repo-FreeBSD.sqlite

This has happened before[1]. Probably something is preventing the repo from being updated.
