Additional Information
The conda solver is not able to correctly pick the latest spyder release for ArcGIS Pro 2.9 environment. By default, it tries to install the two year old Spyder 3.3.6 release. To address this and install a newer Spyder, you can manually specify a version in the installation command, such as `conda install spyder=5` or `conda install spyder=4`. Alternatively, create an environment with Spyder and ArcPy by creating one from scratch with `conda create --name pro-spyder python=3.7 arcpy=2.9 spyder`. Using the provided commands, both ArcPy and a recent Spyder installation (5.1.5) are able to be used without issue. Because the problem is present in the conda solver, there are no direct development tasks possible, but ensures that Spyder installs in future ArcGIS Pro releases at the time of release.Steps to Reproduce
