Problem opening Pages document that was created in iCloud

I created a new Pages document on my work PC via iCloud Pages. My work PC is running Windows 10, but I don't think this is really relevant.

When I try to open the document on my MacBook Pro using Pages, it tells me that the document could not be opened, although it will show a preview of the document. Although this is annoying I can obviously still work on the document via iCloud Pages, but I would prefer to use Pages on my MacBook Pro, as this has more functionality.

Does anyone know why Pages won't open my document?

MacBook Pro 15", macOS 10.15
