You simply shouldn't have any challenges whatsoever on an RSS feed. They're literally meant to be read by a machine.
The issue here is that Cloudflare's content type check is naive. And the fact that CF is checking the content-type header directly needs to be made more explicit OR they need to do a file type check.
