Yes.  I'm looking at

 ftp.netbsd.org:/pub/pkgsrc/packages/NetBSD/amd64/10.0/All/pkg_summary.bz2

contains for python313:

CONFLICTS=python-[0-9]*

and I use this indirectly via the single active repositories.conf
line:

https://cdn.NetBSD.org/pub/pkgsrc/packages/NetBSD/$arch/10.0/All

Fetching the latter shows basically the same entry as far as I
can see.

OK, it's good to have confirmation that "this should not happen".

This is, as far as I recall, the first pkgsrc release which
supplies python313, and python313 gets pulled in as something
which needs to be installed via other non-versioned packages,
such as e.g. rust, clang, meson, llvm, gobject-introspection
along with many others.

As for how that mismatch has crept in I have no idea.  This
particular problem has repeated on all the more than a handfull
of systems I have recently upgraded via "pkgin fug", and I try to
stick to "normal default behaviour" and reduce the amount of
special-treatment to an absolute minimum.
