The silver is 23rd major medal of Katie's career and she has now won six Worlds medals, including team pursuit gold in 2014 and silver in 2015 and 2018.
The 24-year-old is expected to look to add to that tally in Sunday's madison, while older brother John - taking part in his first World Championships - has high hopes in the individual pursuit on Friday.
