Using an env with an older version OpenSSL_jll breaks Pkg

[nhz2]

When I start Julia 1.12 or nightly in the following env created in Julia 1.11.4 with OpenSSL@3.0.16 and try to use Pkg to update things I get the following error:

broken-env.tar.gz

If instead of using Pkg I type "]" I get something that looks like what #53326 was trying to fix.

This isn't exactly a bug because manifests aren't expected to work between different Julia minor versions.
