v22.1 is a minor release that ports some more recent bug fixes and other small improvements onto v22.0 without introducing any breaking changes from v23 and onward. If you’re currently running v22.0 and depend on some behavior that has changed since then, and don’t want to deal with the breaking change right now, you should update to v22.1. This is the only reason minor updates of past major releases exist, and if it doesn’t apply to you, you should be fine with updating to v24.0.1.
And which version has the consensus?
Every version of Bitcoin Core since v0.8.6 (released in December 2013) will be able to sync to the current chain[1]. Additionally, every version since v0.21.1 will validate according to the latest consensus rules which have changed with the Taproot soft fork.
