Vulnerabilities are checked against a flat XML file that is normally
located in /var/db/pkg/vuln.xml. Check the dates of this file on both
systems. It should be updated daily when the periodic security check runs.
By default this starts at 3:00 local time. If the file is not being updated
on one system, that would explain the inconsistency.

Are you receiving the logs of the periodic jobs daily? They are sent to
root.
