This solution worked for me. There seemed to be a version conflict in the Microsoft dependency. Issue disappeared and now builds successfully.

In the Azure Build Pipeline > NuGet tool installer step, change Version of NuGet.exe to install to a newer version, like 5.4.0.

Check Nuget's ReleasedAndBlessed versions at https://dist.nuget.org/tools.json.

I came into the very same error. The problem were those two packages: Fody and Costura.Fody. The fix for me came after hours and was to Delete the folder "packages" and to do a Restore and update the nuget packages after that.
