This is exactly correct. The Video.UI, Music.UI both use this database and the versions are being held back from updating due to an application parameter setting of 0x410022D8 (8920 | JET_efxAllowHigherPersistedFormat). The current default engine version is 9180, but the apps are being held back to version 8920 from updating to 9180. Rebuilding the indexes by hand should do the trick. Below are the events from my log showing the extra debugging messages:

........These 16 informational messages and warnings are exactly dulicated in the Event Log, again, for Video.UI....I won't bother to copy/paste them all, as the issue is identical. After the Video.UI entries the next significant messages in the log are 3 lines for Catalog Database, see below:

....above you can see the version referenced on line 3: dbv = 1568.110.240; I then get 9 subsequent Warnings about Catalog Database making calls for both database format versions 9080 and 9180.
There are some other messages, as often they are duplicated, but I've included the relevant ones. I have not tried manually rebuilding yet, but I will update with more details once I do.
For a frame of reference, this is happening on a clean install of version 2004 that is then updated to:
Edition Windows 10 Pro
Version 20H2
Installed on 9/11/2020
OS build 19042.610
Experience Windows Feature Experience Pack 120.2212.31.0
My best guess is that this happens when Microsoft's OS builds update the database version faster than the app maintainers keep up with database versions. Clearly this isn't only happening on Insider Builds, so there's really no excuse for it to happen on "Stable" releases. I am, at this moment, rebooting to finish installation of Cummulative Update (KB4586781) and I'll take a glance at the event log and see if things have improved any...
