Yes there is some peculiar inconsistency in the repo regarding this;
it seems the Packages files don't match the InRelease file for
beowulf-security, and that has resulted in your grief at accessing the
source. We should look into that inconsistency (esp to make sure it's
not a systematic problem) and ideally correct it.

Though, a manual way to go could be to look up that package
information page on pkginfo, find its "Source:" attribute, and then
browse manually for that. E.g. copy the link address for the Filename,
then remove the last path component(s), and then browse around... in
this case you would be looking for "linux-signed-5.10-amd64
(5.10.179+3~deb10u1)" which would eventually (with some clever guess
work) lead you to
http://security.debian.org/debian-security/pool/updates/main/l/linux-signed-amd64/linux-signed-amd64_5.10.179+3.tar.xz
and its dsc sibling.
