I've investigated this further and this is a bug in how apps.kde.org
interacts with the CI artifact registries.

It would appear that apps.kde.org is not properly following the logic
needed to handle slashes in branch names (they must be replaced with
dashes) resulting in it being unable to find Spectacle's Plasma/6.3
artifacts.
(Gitlab does not allow package versions or names to have slashes in them,
hence why they're replaced with dashes)
