Hello

This is a bug in evolution uncovered by a recent change in iCloud. It
has been discussed here last week.

See https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/evolution/-/issues/1468 for the bug.
evolution has now fixed it.
As for having that fix on Ubuntu see 
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evolution-data-server/+bug/1925742

Sebastien mentions he has already uploaded the fix to Ubuntu 20.04
(focal), albeit looking at 
https://packages.ubuntu.com/focal-updates/evolution-data-server it
doesn't seem to be there yet.

Best regards
