The changelog for GitHub GraphQL schema (2019-03-30) mentions that the pinnedRepositories will be deprecated or removed by 2019-07-01. GraphQL API users are requested to use ProfileOwner.pinnedItems instead.

Examples to retrieve pinned repositories using ProfileOwner.pinnedItems:

Example 1:

query {
    user(login:"kranthilakum") {
    pinnedItems(first: 5, types: [REPOSITORY, GIST]) {
      totalCount
      edges {
        node {
          ... on Repository {
            name
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

Try Example 1 in the GraphQL API Explorer

Example 2:

query {
  repositoryOwner(login: "kranthilakum") {
    ... on ProfileOwner {
      pinnedItemsRemaining
      itemShowcase {
        items(first: 5) {
          totalCount
          edges {
            node {
              ... on Repository {
                name
              }
            }
          }
        }
        hasPinnedItems
      }
    }
  }
}
