Perhaps add:
@xref{Invoking guix pull}, for more information.

What about restating upfront that we’re talking about foreign distros
specifically:
On a foreign distro, you can upgrade the build daemon by running:
@example
sudo -i guix pull
@end example
@noindent
followed by (assuming your distro uses the systemd service management
tool):
@example
systemctl restart guix-daemon.service
@end example
On Guix System, upgrading the daemon is achieved by reconfiguring the
system (@pxref{Invoking guix system, @code{guix system reconfigure}}).
?
Feel free to push something along these lines.
Thank you,
Ludo’.
