You indicated the version (15.0-BETA4-p0 , I've got 15.0-STABLE) but
not the METHOD or the ARCH. In my context the recent upgrade to the
below worked fine. But I am mostly just illustrating example
METHOD's and ARCH's that I happen to have around. There are other
possibilities.

# poudriere jail -l
JAILNAME       VERSION     OSVERSION ARCH  METHOD    TIMESTAMP           PATH
official-amd64 15.0-STABLE           amd64 pkgbase   2025-11-01 21:29:51 /usr/local/poudriere/jails/official-amd64
official-i386  stable-14             i386  freebsdci 2025-10-23 18:47:08 /usr/local/poudriere/jails/official-i386
