No. Yosemite uses 32 bit apps ... Catalina and later use 64 bit apps.


Also, the various iMac models have limits in how far they can update.

NB: says: Models introduced in 2017 or later can run the latest version of macOS.

For older models, the latest compatible operating system is noted.


All the best :-)
