msg: kubernetes >= 12.0.0 is required

SUMMARY

After upgrading from Ansible 2.9 to Ansible 2.13 I have an error when running tasks using kubernetes.core.k8s. It says that a dependency is missing or on the wrong version but it is installed with the latest version, which is superior to the requirements.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

Run a playbook with task below

- name: K8S | Deploy volsync operator
  kubernetes.core.k8s:
    state: present
    definition: "{{ lookup('template', item + '.j2') }}"
    wait: true
    apply: true
  loop: "{{ volsync_operator_files }}"

EXPECTED RESULTS

The task is working and deploying the k8s resources.
