It's exactly what the message says. Pacman is on version 6 but pamac only works with 5.3. Nothing you can do until pamac gets pacman 6 support.

You can solve this temporarily by installing octopi instead and uninstalling pamac-common. This is what I did.
Thanks for the workaround! It works like flawless!
