It wipes it and will have to enroll it again which if still scoped to a prestage, should just enroll again for you.
I've seen it go to a secondary screen a few times where it needs to re activate on apples servers after the initial wipe. And once or twice where it required a reinstall of the system after the wipe, which it then auto booted into recovery mode.
In that prompt you saw, Activation and the PIN are two unrelated things.
You followed the correct procedure, which is to only check Clear Activation Lock if you need it (sounds like you didn’t) and to enter an arbitrary PIN. If the computer has been protected with a firmware passcode, you’d need the correct PIN to clear that before the computer would be wiped.
A wipe command will erase both user data and macOS on macOS Big Sur and earlier Macs. It will perform an Erase All Content and Settings on macOS Monterey and later Macs (leaving the operating system in place and at the Setup Assistant) that support Erase All Content and Settings.

Thanks for the response, greatly appreciated.

@talkingmoose So just to confirm, after the Mac resets to factory default, unless in "pre-stage" scope the device needs re-enrolled into Jamf or it will remain 'unmanaged', correct?
Yes, if its scoped to a prestage enrollment though, once it starts up it will automatically re enroll and lock back to your organization. Its only unmanaged until someone attempts to start it up. If not scoped to a prestage then yes its unmanaged.

I am having a similar issue with the wipe command on my iOS device. It has reset, and is now listed as unmanaged, however, I am unable to see the device/add the device back to the scope in my PreStage Enrollment it was originally in. Please advice.

We have initiated the Wipe command from Jamf to macOS and given a pin. However, pin is not accepting. Also EFI password showing as not set. So now its stuck at initial screen and unable to proceed further. Kindly advice.
