Fresh Python 3.6 env installs old versions of setuptools and certifi

- I read the conda-forge documentation and could not find the solution for my problem there.
Issue:
In the past few days, I've observing that installing Python 3.6 in a fresh environment is installing old versions of setuptools and certifi. This has led to some CI builds breaking because pip errors when trying to upgrade this old certifi because it's a distutils package.

I don't get this problem using conda with defaults channel, or using mamba with conda-forge channel. This seems to be something that happens when using conda with conda-forge.
conda with defaults:

We have dropped Python 3.6 support in conda-forge to make room for Python 3.10. Please upgrade to a newer Python version as soon as you are able
jayqi commented
I have some concerns about the dropped Python 3.6 support by conda-forge. Foremost of which is that Python 3.6 doesn't reach end-of-life for two more months. Where is the best place for me to voice those?
xhochy commented
This has been discussed at conda-forge/conda-forge-pinning-feedstock#1947 and approved on conda-forge/conda-forge-pinning-feedstock#1955; feel free to voice them at conda-forge/conda-forge-pinning-feedstock#1947 but given the resource needs of supporting an additional Python version, reversing this decision won't likely happen.
