Mismatching kernel versions during installation inside chroot

I'm trying to install Artix on a QEMU virtual machine through an automated script i've wrote, in one of the latest installation steps, where i setup Rootless Docker, it's required to enable the ip_tables kernel module by running modprobe ip_tables inside the installation mount point with chroot The problem is that i get the following error:

modprobe: FATAL: Module ip_tables not found in directory `/lib/modules/5.13.4-artix1-1

After some further inspection, i've noticed that pacman -Q linux returns versions 5.16.10-artix1-1, and the versions on my /lib/modules is 5.13.4-artix1-1 Does chroot has anything to do with that? or the problem lies somewhere else?
