Same character every time — U+1F6D0 never changed. Only the drawing did, and only because each vendor redraws its own set. Someone on an older phone still sees the older picture.
Place Of Worship was approved as U+1F6D0 and shipped in Emoji 1.0 (2015). Phones usually get new artwork about a year after approval, in a system update.
