The 16-CURRENT boot loader should be capable of loading 15.0-RELEASE without issue, but I use [rEFInd](https://www.rodsbooks.com/refind/) a custom EFI boot loader that allows me to choose between different loaders on startup. You'll likely need to use [efibootmgr(8)](https://man.freebsd.org/efibootmgr) to handle this.
