Hopefully you have backups.
Try opening the db in something like sqlitestudio.
There are 2 tables that are relevant to migrations.

1. SequelizeMeta - this stores the migrations that have already been run to make sure they aren't run again. You should see records up to v2.20.0 and not including v2.26.0.
2. migrationsMeta - This stores the current version and the maxVersion. If the current version is greater than the max version than a migration is run.

When a migration is run the first step is to copy the migration file into /config/migrations folder. Check that the v2.26.0 migration file is being copied into that folder. From the error it doesn't seem to be.

EDIT: moving configs to local folder solved my issue but is not ideal

i'm having a similar issue, but i'm starting from scratch cause i lost my metadata / config folders somehow at some point. With empty folders, i get this on startup of latest. notably- i am using a NAS to store my metadata/config folders. wonder if thats related.
