wrong number or types of arguments in call to ‘CHECKDATAFILEFORSTANDBY’

I started seeing this today in one of our databases

RMAN> resync catalog;

RMAN-00571: ===========================================================
RMAN-00569: =============== ERROR MESSAGE STACK FOLLOWS ===============
RMAN-00571: ===========================================================
RMAN-03009: failure of resync command on default channel at 01/24/2020 11:45:49
RMAN-10015: error compiling PL/SQL program
RMAN-10014: PL/SQL error 0 on line 2620 column 18: Statement ignored
RMAN-10014: PL/SQL error 306 on line 2620 column 18: wrong number or types of arguments in call to 'CHECKDATAFILEFORSTANDBY'

I found metalink article 2360045.1 which states that it is a catalog version mismatch, however running upgrade catalog doesn’t resolve the problem. 

I remember hitting this error a long time ago, and although I can’f find the reason why, running upgrade catalog two times in a row seems to fix the problem (so typing upgrade catalog 4 times).
