I believe that is it because you explicitly specified "sh" shell, not
zsh.

When you use M-x shell, Emacs will pick up the system shell. In
contrast, ob-shell will let-bind `shell-file-name' to the shell name you
specify in the src block. The only exception is #+begin_src shell, which
will use the default system shell.

So, I believe that the following should work for you

#+begin_src shell :session *myshell* :results output
conda activate ledger
#+end_src
