In this case it was not caused by rolling release, but by simple fact that too many packages at pkg server slows down everything[*] so the pkg server needs to be cleaned from time to time. The current way to do so is roughly this: keep latest version of every package and drop everything else. And this, obviously, causes problems like you faced. But, at least, it should be always possible to do 'pkg update' to get back on track (unless your system is veeery veeery old).
