original-video-files stored in /var/www/peertube/versions/peertube-v6.2.0/storage/original-video-files/

Describe the current behavior

When I was moving my files to a object storage some of the later videos couldn't be moved and got the label "External storage move failed". I investigated and the logs showed that it couldn't find the original-video-files like:

Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '/var/www/peertube/versions/peertube-v6.3.2/storage/original-video-files/8fe8871a-56c1-4e7d-b224-55cfe1f1eb96-1080.mp4'

I was wondering why the file is in versions and not in storage and even stranger under a specific version. So I looked around and found that there was also the /var/www/peertube/versions/peertube-v6.2.0/storage/original-video-files/ directory where all those files which were missing were.

For now as a work around I manually moved them from the peertube-v6.2.0/storage/original-video-files/ to peertube-v6.3.2/storage/original-video-files/ and the move to object storage works. But I think this is a bug in the code where it decides where to store the original files, or at least where to find them.

Steps to reproduce

1. Install PeerTube version 6.2.0
2. Set it to store original videos
3. upload a video
4. update to version 6.3.2
5. move the video to object storage
6. check the logs

Describe the expected behavior

Original files should be stored in /var/www/peertube/storage/original-video-files
