For a version to be recognized as installed, not only the version itself must match but also the repository.
In particular, /var/db/pkg/app-editors/emacs-26.3-r1/repository must exist and should probably have the content "gentoo". (Assuming your main repository is gentoo). If you changed repositories, it might be necessasry to call eix-update again.
