I think the workflow it wants you to use is:

* Push your new version to a different branch (wip/1.2.3 or something)
* Create a pull request into beta (or into master if that's what you want)
* Let the infrastructure do a test-build
* If it fails, do a force-push with the fixes
* Iterate until the test-build is successful
* Test it
* When you are happy with it (or when your co-maintainers are happy with
  it, if you have co-maintainers), accept the pull request

Try that?

If you have set up flatpak-external-data-checker to watch for new releases,
then flathubbot will create pull requests for you. For instance
https://github.com/flathub/com.valvesoftware.SteamLink/pulls?q=is%3Apr
has examples of both ways: manually-created PRs, and automatic updates.
