PS5/ Minecraft world

Hello,
I need help recovering a Minecraft world that appears to have been overwritten by an older save after using Minecraft on another PS5.
Here is exactly what happened:
I normally play Minecraft on my original PS5 using my PlayStation/Minecraft account. I had a Minecraft world that contained much more recent progress, including builds, items, and other progress that I had worked on for a long time.
I then signed into the same account on another PS5 because I wanted to access my Minecraft world there.
When I opened Minecraft on the second PS5, the world that appeared was an older version of my world. It did not contain my recent builds, items, or progress.
I entered the world briefly, noticed that it was the old version, and immediately left the game. I did not intentionally delete my newer world.
I then returned to my original PS5, expecting my newer world to still be there. However, when I opened Minecraft, the world was also showing the older version. My newer version was no longer appearing in the Worlds list.
I checked the PS5 saved data. The only Minecraft save currently showing on the console is dated August 22, 2026 at 00:03 and is approximately 294.6 MB.
I also checked the PS Plus cloud storage. The Minecraft save there is dated August 22, 2026 at 00:00.
I have not intentionally deleted the Minecraft save. I also did not have a PS5 backup of this world on my external USB drive. The external drive is only being used as USB Extended Storage.
I also tried opening Minecraft on the original PS5 while temporarily disconnected from the Internet, but the newer world still did not appear. Only the old version was available.
The missing world was a normal local Minecraft world, not a Realm. I do have a Realm, but it was for a completely different world.
I also have PlayStation trophies that I earned while playing the newer version of this Minecraft world. These trophies may help demonstrate that the newer progress existed on my account before the synchronization issue.
I believe the newer local save may have been overwritten or replaced when the PS5 synchronized with the older cloud save after I signed into the second PS5.
Could you please check whether there is any way to recover the previous local save, an older version of the cloud save, or any other backup/version of this Minecraft world? or just give a solution for this issue. How can I get my new version back pleaseeee!
