MongoDB and WiredTiger compatibility issue

Today, my MongoDB container running on Google Kubernetes Engine suddently stopped working, and this is the generated log:

I tested older Mongo container versions but it didn't work. I had this problem in the past, and I was able to fix it by completly wiping the persistent storage, but unfortunatelly this time I cannot do this.

How do I solve this compatibility issue without wiping the storage data?

A stored WiredTiger version of 3.3 means the data files were written by a MongoDB version from 4.2.6 to 4.2.8.

One of those versions should be able to open those files.
