Quoting Ludovic from:

Currently ‘guix system reconfigure’ (specifically
‘upgrade-shepherd-services’) reloads and starts all services that are
currently stopped, on the grounds that it would not be safe/desirable to
simply stop any running service.

So if you want NGINX to start with its new configuration, you need to
stop it before doing the 'guix system reconfigure'.
