There is no answer between your asking the question and my response.

They dont serve the same things and are not the same framework.
The manjaro repositories have never been a source for flatpaks. Or SNAPs. Or … anything but ALPM repository packages.
Flatpak and Manjaro repositories are seperated, okay this makes sense.
But there should be required a mirror to find the host or not?
Don’t get me wrong, i would be glad if we don’t had to manually refresh our mirrors with pamac, but im just a little confused why this is working for flatpak so flawless but not with our repositories.
A source is required, yes, but its already handled.
There is nothing for a pamac user to do in regards to that normally.
(and there is no pamac function related to it)
If one wanted to mess with the flatpak repos they might do so with something like
Im not sure I follow. The example here is of pamac not properly communicating a flatpak change.
It would appear that OP only has an issue with this flatpak entry.
If you mean something like ‘source selection’ … again theres some difference. Flatpak is only one official source. Thats what its set as. Manjaro repos are various mirrors hosted on different servers internationally. This is handled on the user side by something like pacman-mirrors, or the newer meta solution of using the ‘global’ mirrors. Though I will also concede that pamac has had various troubles, sometimes requiring a force-refresh, and so on. But that doesnt have much to do with the mirrors. Or ALPM. Thats just pamac.
I know the Flatpak / Appimage / (Snaps… let’s not even go there) can be quite the debate as to the problems that they have. I try to use the official repos as much as I can, and only deviate to the AUR if I have to. I still prefer to use AUR instead of Flatpak, if the package is available.
I think I am only running one Flatpak on my system, and it’s only because the version in the official repos isn’t compatible with the version on my phone. Apparently Signal is REALLY picky about that.
One of the things that brought me to Manjaro is how up to date the offical repos tend to be. I prefer the standard packages, because they work better in the system, and tend not to take up near as much space on your HD. Also, Manjaro is REALLY good about getting the proper dependencies, and ONLY the dependencies needed.
I have been using Manjaro since Kubuntu 22.04, and have not looked back since.
