Where was this documented?  The (significant) PBP boot order that is documented (as far as I know) is
1 SPI ROM
2 eMMC 
3 Micro SD card

Unless you have written to SPI ROM, your boot starts with U-Boot on the eMMC.  As of 2022, the U-Boot that comes with the default Manjaru does not try to boot from Micro SD card.  The solution to this is to get a different U-Boot on the eMMC, or Tow-boot on either the eMMC or SPI ROM.
