homebrew - pyenv versions doesnt show anything after installing other version of python on mac big sur

Question

why it doesnt show my python version installations

% pyenv versions 
* system (set by /Users/axilaris/.pyenv/version)

I know I have Python 3.6 (that comes with Big Sur) and 3.8 and 3.9 (I have installed using Python .pkg installer - https://www.python.org/downloads/)

I have installed pyenv using

brew install pyenv

UPDATE (here are existing python I found existing in my mac):

% pwd
