Release Candidates are failing to automatically deploy to Pre and Release

The 14.0.6 patch release didn't manage to automatically deploy to Release and on the same day the 14.1 release candidate wasn't deployed to the Pre environment. Both succeeded on a manual deploy.

Release pipelines were all green.

Pipeline that should have triggered the deploy to preprod: https://dev.gitlab.org/gitlab/omnibus-gitlab/-/pipelines/204188

For all the Ubuntu build jobs, this is the result of the rake task: Deployment to pre not to be triggered from this build (ubuntu-xenial). which is not a correct error. that same error occurred for all Ubuntu builds regardless of version - found on Ubuntu-<VERSION>-staging jobs
