Ah.  In that case it's a `know bug' that is being worked on.

I looked into core-updates-next and at the moment it does not seem to be
in a really usable state, in other words: work in progress.

Theoretically one might do `guix pull --branch=<branch-name>'.  However,
branches other than master and version-1.0.x are generally not suited
for general use.  See `14.6 Submitting Patches'
(https://guix.gnu.org/manual/en/html_node/Submitting-Patches.html).

Using a developer branch like core-updates-next is usually done by
working on a clone of the Guix Git archive.  See `14.1 Building from
Git' (https://guix.gnu.org/manual/en/html_node/Building-from-Git.html).

Greetings,
janneke
