For my upgrade with:

freebsd-update fetch
freebsd-update install
shutdown -r now

worked fine.
If you execute freebsd-update install again, it will tell you, that now 
userland update is available for FreeBSD 15.0-p1.

You can check the version with:

freebsd-version -u -k
15.0-RELEASE
15.0-RELEASE-p1

Only kernel was upgrade, but not userland so like you had it for your 
pkgbase.
Are you sure the freebsd-update really download something?
