After investigation, I had two sources.list entries, one being from the original installation on Debian 10, and one added by ansible after the upgrade to Debian 11:

$ cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/jellyfin.list
deb [arch=amd64] https://repo.jellyfin.org/debian buster main
deb [arch=amd64] https://repo.jellyfin.org/debian bullseye main

Removing the buster sources.list entry [1] fixes the problem:
