Metatag update fails with Unknown Column error

We recently updated the Metatag module from ver 8.x-1.6 to 8.x-1.22. Ran updatedb which displayed 4 items to update (see below). Upon running, process errored out updating 8109 on account of an unknown column. The column references a field using the metatag structure which is called tag (field_tag). Unfortunately this was created before my time as I would have avoided a generic field name. This issue is similar to one reported in February, 2022 (https://www.drupal.org/project/metatag/issues/3262308) in which a field titled field_meta_tag had been created prior.

Another note/possible clue. When I attempt to remove the field from the content type, I receive an error message indicating 'column not found' which references my field_tag field. This occurs in two different sites using Metatags 8.x-1.6 and 8.x-1.22.

Any recommendations to resolve this would be most appreciated!
