The kernel-modules-extra package is, and has been an installonly package. It should behave similar to kernel-modules, and kernel-core, and keep multiple versions (by default 3) installed. The kernel-modules-extra package is not a part of the typical install, and the first time it is installed, it will only install the current version, it will not also install packages to match other kernels installed on the system. Once installed though, it should update with kernels accordingly, so at some point soonish you should have 5.7.6, 5.7.7, and 5.7.8 installed if you are regularly updating, and once 5.7.9 is out, it will remove 5.7.6.
