I've made many worlds in versions 1.20.5 and 1.20.6 to test but since 1.20.6 came out no matter what I do all wolves spawn as the regular pail wolves, even when I go back to worlds that did have wolf variations they are all pail wolfs now. no matter if I command summon them or spawn from an egg all wolves natural or not are pail.

Edit: As @unknown stated, the image attached shows you spawning a wolf where wolves don't spawn. Therefore, it defaults to the pale wolf variant, which is intended.
Cannot reproduce - in a forest biome, woods wolves spawn. I'd assume it's the same everywhere else.
Is the world you tested this in upgraded from a previous version?
Cannot reproduce. Are you only attempting to spawn them within a single biome e.g. plains? The variant of wolf that is spawned is dependent on the biome it spawns in, even when done in creative. In the screenshot, it appears that you are only attempting to spawn them in a biome in which they do indeed appear the classic pale variant. Granted, you do say that you previously had worlds with wolf variations.
I've been going around the world trying to spawn them in the plains, savana, Tiga, badlands and so on but I've had no luck only getting pail wolfs.
I've uninstalled Minecraft from my computer, reset my laptop and reinstalled I shall try again and see if that can fix the issue.
10min later the worlds that had pail wolves are now changed into their variations depending on the area so I have no clue what the issue is but the good old off-and-on proves to fix everything.

Can confirm, my hardcore world only spawns original wolfs, my world was created in 1.20.4 and updated to 1.20.6 and couldn't find any new wolf variations either
I've tried creating worlds in 1.20.4 and spawning wolves in them, then upgrading the worlds to 1.20.5 and directly to 1.20.6 to see if this has any effect on the wolf spawning, but I still could not reproduce the issue. The wolves I spawned in the world in 1.20.4 remained pale, as expected, but any more that I spawned reflected their corresponding biomes. Glad turning it off and on again fixed it though! 😛
