The issue is real, but can be workarounded by specifying the version:

  community.general.jenkins_plugin:
    name: "ansible"
    state: latest
    update_json_url_segment:
      - "update-center.json/version={{ jenkins_version }}"

The version can be obtained for example from the Docker label org.opencontainers.image.version
