Could the magnet links be served as a torrent?

(If I understand your question correctly,) sure, but it would instantly be outdated, because you can't include the torrent you just created.

Possible a magnet to the magnet bundle?

yes, but because the magnet link is a hash of the content it is only ever a snapshot of the magnet bundle.

So version the magnet link (similar to git) and always serve the latest magnet link via a DNS TXT record.
