No, the pages do not give the wrong information.
https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/tcltk-defaults gives the version of
the *tcltk-defaults* package, which provides the unversioned things
(that is, the tcl → tcl8.6 symlink); basically, which major version
of Tcl/Tk is to be installed by default.
Once you have that, you know that the real implementation is in the
tcl8.6 package and you need to look at that version.
It’s the same with python3 vs. python3.9 for example.
As for manpages.debian.org, the page merely displays which package
version it got the requested manual page from, not which is the
latest version. It’s not necessary up to date nor does it need to
be, and it states that the data seen is from August 2020 (so, old).
