pkg is known not to work at all for installing backwards, by design.
Going backwards is done by reverting to old boot environments you
preserved.

If you suspect you may want to go back, keep around a boot environment
for the oldest release you may want to go back to.   Once there you
can re-upgrade to an intermediate build if needed.
