I do not think so.

Evolution's data structure is not necessarily backwards compatible.
Thus I assume that some database scheme has changed between versions.

You can either go back to E3.28/U18.04 and use the latest Evolution
backup file that you created from/in/with that very Evolution version.

Or you could use E3.44/U22.04 and not run into this problem.
If I understand correctly. (Because it remains unclear which steps you
performed in which order with data in which location - local, backup?)
