Hi Rafal,

I agree the FreeBSD.conf file you have shown here looks like it is pulling
from quarterly.

This is not the normal FreeBSD.conf file for FreeBSD 11-STABLE, which you
can see here:
https://svnweb.freebsd.org/base/stable/11/etc/pkg/FreeBSD.conf?revision=302408&view=markup

Perhaps check 2 things:
1. Double check you have posted the /etc/pkg/FreeBSD.conf file from the
11-STABLE machine, and that you don't have any temporary mount points
overwriting it.
2. Can you post the contents of all files in /etc/pkg/ and in
/usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/

Regards,
Ben
