Direct download ISO's usually lag behind MCT.
And if the release channel officially reports .9550 (Preview) as GA then the download ISO will ship with that build.

Direct download ISO's use normal WIM compression. MCT ISO's use ESD compression.

Download ISO's are intended for IT admins, who frequently update and modify their own install images. MCT users will use the untouched ISO (they might use Rufus to add some settings outside of the ISO on the USB drive).

The time spent to convert from ESD->WIM, and WIM->ESD is really annoying for the IT crowd. Which really accounts for the different ISO's.

If it behaves like the one for x64, it will work for installing or doing update in place, but if you make an Installation media with it, the "Repair my PC" is still broken. 😵‍💫🤷‍♂️

I did that download and I got an earlier build of Windows, not the latest that my machine is at: 26300.9711

My ISO that I just downloaded is this version: Windows11_Client_x64_en-us_26300_9457.iso

MS makes no guarantees the direct download ISO is up-to-date. I've collected all of the W11 download ISO's going back to W11 21H2.

Sometimes you get a refresh like v1, v2 (and a rare v3). But the release intervals are "random", or rather coincided with critical patch updates. MS would immediately remove the previous non-v[N] version so users wouldn't mistakenly use an older ISO with a known issue.

During the same time period, MCT would have an uncoordinated release which often didn't match the download ISO version. Except for the first GA release. At any one point, one of the two (download or MCT) would be ahead of the other.

For 25H2, MS finally cleaned up their act and started pushing out new MCT ISO's every month starting last October. This was not the normal process in the past. How do we know that? Because people have archived the old products.cab files that MCT used to figure what to download. You can check the build numbers (which have the release date embedded in the ISO name).

The new normal is "regular users use the MCT if you want a current (or worse case, one month old) ISO".
