Windows 10: TargetReleaseversionInfo to block Windows 11

I've read how you can block the Windows 11 upgrade by setting the TargetReleaseversionInfo registry key to the version of Windows 10 you want to limit updates to. If the Win10 machine is currently running 21H2, do you have to put 21H2 in that key, or could you set it to 22H2 so in the future the Win10 machine will upgrade to 22H2 when it's available for that hardware?
