checksumming the downloaded kernel manually gives an "Okay" though.

is this just me (on Fedora 33) ?

Fails for me on Arch:

Verifying checksum on linux-5.11.4.tar.xz /usr/bin/sha256sum: /home/gregkh/Downloads/linux-tarball-verify.gZo313NCk.untrusted/sha256sums.txt: no properly formatted SHA256 checksum lines found FAILED to verify the downloaded tarball checksum

Konstantin, anything change recently?

I think it's just cache invalidation problems. I've committed a tiny change to the script that always grabs that file from the origin servers instead of going via the CDN.

This should sidestep the problem.
