As David wrote, the behavior here is correct. linux-lowlatency is a
binary package provided by linux-meta-lowlatency, for which you are
requesting the source code.

Title:
apt source exact-source-package doesn't download the requested source
package
Status in apt package in Ubuntu:
Opinion
Bug description:
apt source exact-source-package doesn't download the right source
package
when specifying source package, i expect the exact source package to be
downloaded.
example:
$ apt source linux-lowlatency => incorrectly downloads linux-meta-lowlatency
$ apt source --only-source linux-lowlatency => is very counter intuitive but
downloads linux-lowlatency source package
Please default to downloading exact source package by default first,
and offer binary->source resolution separately.
