There are a couple options here. Spectrum 22 supports both versions of the probe, but UIM 20.4 CU6 or higher only support the 20.4 version of the probe.

-update your Spectrum to 22 prior to the UIM upgrade
-update UIM to 20.4 CU6 or higher
-update spectrumgtw 20.4

   or

-update UIM to 20.4 CU5 (last supported version with trellis that supports 8.69 HF4 of the probe)
-update Spectrum to 22 (on your timeline)
-update UIM to 20.4 CU6 or higher
-update spectrumgtw 20.4
