The update will be available when someone (probably I) have time to update the F::Q module in gnucash-on-flatpak. That update will be immediately available in nightly builds; it won't be available on Flathub until the regular release at the end of September.

It's not possible to use CPAN, and consequently gnc-fq-update, in the flatpak, but you can do it manually similarly to the way you applied the yahoo_json patch: Download and untar the release tarball or clone the repo then copy Quote.pm and the contents of Quote/ into the right places in your flatpak.
