As the manual says
If you end an exclude list with --exclude '*', note that
since the algorithm is applied recursively that unless you
explicitly include parent directories of files you want to
include then the algorithm will stop at the parent
directories and never see the files below them. To
include all directories, use --include '*/' before the
--exclude '*'.
I think you can just say
rsync -avz --include='*.gz' --include='*/' --exclude='*' \
/tmp jumper::files
though this will also include directories that don't contain .gz files.
If you want to get rid of them you may have to experiment a bit more.
