Reproduces only for certain seeds. `testMinimumSameAsOldVersion` and `testMinimumVersionShardDuringPhaseExecution` are also failing.

Failures started a day or two ago, perhaps with the 8.11 release. I'll be muting these.

**Build scan:**
https://gradle-enterprise.elastic.co/s/idql2jbnv3fti/tests/:server:test/org.elasticsearch.action.search.SearchQueryThenFetchAsyncActionTests/testMinimumVersionSameAsNewVersion
**Reproduction line:**

```

**Applicable branches:**
8.11

**Reproduces locally?:**
Yes
