So you did:
git worktree add ../emacs-26 origin/emacs-26
which means "give me a worktree that shows the content of the remote
branch origin/emacs-26". So it indeed didn't use any (local) branch for
that, and instead used a "detached head" (IIRC the terminology used by
Git).
You could have used
git worktree add ../emacs-26 emacs-26
since you apparently already had a local `emacs-26` branch (which
presumably tracks the remote origin/emacs-26).
But as Andreas explains, it's easy to fix without a new "git worktree":
just do `git checkout emacs-26`.
