Research direction

Start at scripts/vcpkg-tools.json around line 316 and compare the reported PowerShell version with the version actually downloaded. Update the mismatched version entry, then verify that the tool metadata consistently reflects the downloaded 7.6.1 release.

Description

Describe the bug
See https://github.com/microsoft/vcpkg/blob/master/scripts/vcpkg-tools.json#L316

7.5.4 vs. what is actually downloaded: 7.6.1

Seems just like a forgotten update on version bump? Don't think it's intentional.
