Additional Information
The MXD file is saved using the Standard Label Engine. When it is imported into ArcGIS Pro, the Standard Label Engine is still used for the map. When the new map is created in ArcGIS Pro, it uses the default label engine, which is the Maplex Label Engine. Then, when the layers are copied into the new map, they use the Maplex Label Engine to label. The label engine is stored with the map, not the layers. To change the label engine for the new map, go to the Map ribbon, Labeling group, and click the More drop-down button. Then click Maplex Label Engine to uncheck it and switch to the Standard Label Engine.Steps to Reproduce
