Immediately above the example you quoted from the wiki page it says:

That means go to the first link, 
https://code.gnucash.org/builds/flatpak/stable/, and find the nightly build 
that you want. The build dates are in the right-hand column. Copy the filename 
without “gnucash-“ and “.flatpakref” and paste it on the command line in place 
of the example commit.

You perhaps missed that we changed the branch names from “maint” and “master” 
to “stable” and “future” when we released 5.0.

 I’ve replaced the example in the wiki with the most recent build and added a 
note mentioning the old branch names.
