Docs say that recommended go version for trillian@v1.6.1 is go 1.22, but it appears to require go 1.22.6

Hi, I'm looking at the release notes for v1.6.1, and it says recommended go version is 1.22. See https://github.com/google/trillian/releases/tag/v1.6.1

However, if I create a go module with go.mod saying

module local
go 1.22
require github.com/google/trillian v1.6.1

and a source file dummy.go

package local
import _ "github.com/google/trillian"

and run go mod tidy, go mod tidy insists on changing that to go 1.22.6, and if I insists and change back to go 1.22, build fails, "go: updates to go.mod needed; to update it: go mod tidy" (which is go's way of saying that some dependency wants a more recent go version than specified in go.mod).

If the version dependency that rules out plain go 1.22 is intended, it would be nice to say that in release notes. I don't know if it is common for go modules to depend on patch version, but I was a bit surprised that I couldn't update to latest trillian after I finally upgraded the required go version in my project to go 1.22. For now, I'm on trillian@v1.6.0, which seems to work fine in this setting.
