I was able to make a system getting that exact same error message by running the following from an elevated PowerShell session (having used SSH to get into the Windows 10 Pro install in question), cribbed from #2434 (comment):

cd Downloads
Invoke-WebRequest 'https://cdn.winget.microsoft.com/cache/source.msix' -OutFile '.\Microsoft.Winget.Source.msix' -UseBasicParsing
Add-AppxPackage -Path 'Microsoft.Winget.Source.msix';

I can't really explain why that works, but it has worked on three different Windows machines for me now (two on 10, one on 11).

This appears to have been a transient issue, and we're now on WinGet 1.7.
