Steps to reproduce
Run Get-WinGetPackage on a machine with both versions 6 and 7 of the Microsoft .NET Windows Desktop Runtime.

While I originally posted that using the (default?) version 0.0.1 alpha of Microsoft.WinGet.Client, the issue is still present when using version 0.2.1:
The Winget console displays the name shown in Add or Remove Programs (the correct one), while the Winget PowerShell script displays a name based on the ID (incorrect).
