I can’t setup an iPad from an iCloud backup because I need a newer iOS before I can select any of my available backups. What do I do?

I have personally experienced this. Here is what you want to do, trust me.

Set up as a new iPad
Update the iPad
Erase the iPad
Setup your iPad from the backup
Your data should be there
