I mean, it's clearly an Ootsutsuki power which somehow ties back to Toneri. I do realise that the word "inherited" is supposed to mean that this power is inborn, while the conversation between Toneri and Urashiki implies that Toneri granted Jogan to Boruto through an unknown way; however, Urashiki only mentioned that Toneri "did something" to Boruto, so the Jogan can still be an inborn power, and Toneri just accelerated its developement or something. Toneri only made Boruto aware of the Jougan through the dream, which helped trigger its awakening. That's stated explicitly in the novelization. There's no indication, as far as I know, that he's somehow responsible for Boruto having it in the first place.

If anything, I think it's obviously a reference to his heritage as the offspring of both an Uzumaki and a Hyuga, who descended from Hagoromo and Hamura respectively. Not to mention both of his parents having been directly granted their chakra.
