Following the release of iOS 14.5.1 last week, Apple has closed the iOS 14.5 system verification channel, which means that if you have installed iOS 14.5.1, you cannot downgrade to iOS 14.5.
Apple usually stops signing software updates for the old version after the new version comes out to encourage users to keep the operating system updated.
