Just for the record. Further tests I have done:

--- init.el ---
(require 'benchmark)
(require 'package)
(setq custom-file (locate-user-emacs-file "custom.el"))

(when (not package-archive-contents)
  (package-refresh-contents))
(message "Loading org from elpa took %f s"
         (benchmark-elapse
           (setq-default package-install-upgrade-built-in t)
           (use-package org
             :ensure t
             :pin gnu)
  (message "org-version: %s" org-version)))
---

M-x org-version yields 9.6.15 (expected was 9.7.3)

Best, /PA
