[REALMS-10023] Updating Realm Requires Editing

The Bug:

When updating a realm to a new version (ex: 1.18.2 to 1.18.10), you cannot update via the main menu when there are players online – you must update by editing the realm.

Steps to reproduce:

Join realm from main menu while players are online

Realm gives "Need to update" message

Edit the realm (effectively kicking all players) and press play from there

Realm updates successfully

Perhaps I worded it wrong. The bug is that updating a realm from the main menu fails when players are online, but succeeds when the realm is empty.

This is a bug we're interested in fixing - you should get a more helpful message when joining a Realm with active players from the Worlds tab, or even the option of kicking all current players off the Realm to force the update.
