This should work (you had extra spaces and other small problems)

| makeresults | eval source="fooarb_usg_mpsbar06foobar::fooarb_usg_mpsbar07foobar"
| makemv delim="::" source
| mvexpand source

| rename COMMENT AS "Everything above generates sample event data; everything below is your solution"

| eval Pattern="%arb_usg_mps%06%"
| where like(source, Pattern)
