Fix for flaky tests described in #50030.
This PR relaxes the version check in the tests and processes more data in queries to force more batches.
I also reduced the number of shuffle partitions for one of the join queries because there used to be 5 * 4 state stores that would need a snapshot to upload in a short time span. Now there's only 3 * 4 stores to deal with.
Why are the changes needed?
The tests previously introduced in #50030 are quite flaky depending on the environment, resulting in CI gates failing some tests in the suite.
Does this PR introduce any user-facing change?
No.
How was this patch tested?
Re-ran and verified the tests multiple times locally, but primarily using the current merge gates to see if these pass properly.
Was this patch authored or co-authored using generative AI tooling?
No.
