Beta vs “for everyone release” install numbering sequence

“ There shouldn’t be confusion here.

Public version is 1.22.1

Beta version is 1.22.2 (which is greater than 1.22.1).”

So if the latest released PMS is the public file such as 1.22.1.4275 and the last beta I have is 1.22.2.4274 which was released prior to the public file, which is the most current and up to date? In order to install this public release I would have to uninstall the beta to install the public since the nas considers this a regression, correct? When I look back here Plex Media Server - #398 by Ridley
The third digit set of the file number of the public file always was the same as the previous beta until 1.22.1.4271.
