Releases are just a convenient way of selecting versions of packages, it is
not (as far as I know) intended to distinguish between particular sources of
packages.

Something else is wrong, then, as it is supposed to prefer them in order.
Does it work correctly if you remove the pins, then list the file: source
first?
sources.list(5):
It is important to list sources in order of preference, with the most
preferred source listed first. Typically this will result in sorting by
speed from fastest to slowest (CD-ROM followed by hosts on a local net-
work, followed by distant Internet hosts, for example).
