You can do the trick using navigation:

In Javascript

download() {
        this[NavigationMixin.Navigate]({
            type: 'standard__webPage',
            attributes: {
                url: '/sfc/servlet.shepherd/document/download/0692w000000MmSyAAK?operationContext=S1'
            }
        })
    }
