You can only get the older version, if you have previously purchased GarageBand from the AppStore and it is in your previous purchases. Open the tab "Purchased" at the App Store and check, if GarageBand 10 or GarageBand 6.0.5 are there. When you try to reinstall GarageBand from the list of previous purchases, the Appstore may offer you to download an older version, compatible with your system version.

If you did not previously buy GarageBand from the AppStore, it is now too late to buy it, because the App Store offers only the version for Big Sur. We have to get all apps for our system version, when the system is the current version. Once a new system version is has been released, the AppStore may no longer offer the older versions.
