So what I did in the end was adding
/usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/FreeBSD.conf with the following content:

  FreeBSD: {
      url: "pkg+http://pkg.FreeBSD.org/${ABI}/latest",
      priority: 40
  }

My own repositories have priorities higher than 40. And by
changing "quarterly" to "latest" I ensure that the versions are
the same. `pkg upgrade` works fine now.
