Ensure that you have updated Pages to v14.2 from the Mac App Store. I have no issue opening a .docx document with Pages v14.2 in the released Sequoia v15.0. I tried several .docx documents spanning several years with no misbehavior from Pages in opening and displaying them. The one exception was a Word .doc from 1995 which is too old for Pages to process and that produced a dialog.
