The agreement says

************
Exercise of Rights
...
twelve (12) calendar months shall have elapsed since a version of Qt was
released without a corresponding version of Qt Free Edition being released;
************

My own personal interpretation is that this covers all releases of Qt so Qt 5.15.3 should indeed be released before 4 March 2022 or that part of the agreement would not be fulfilled.
