 Similar to #46613: In https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-
 develop/commit/26869439ff6b94b103355061e8befebcf93868cd there is an
 implementation that checks if the required PHP version is compatible with
 the current PHP version while trying to do an auto-update.

 We could potentially add the following code after
 https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-
 develop/blob/e87f42252b6b09971f21fb27f3a50e1e1fdf26e4/src/wp-
 admin/includes/class-wp-automatic-updater.php#L293-L298 to also check for
 the required WordPress version:

 {{{#!php
 <?php
 // If updating a plugin or theme, ensure the minimum PHP and WordPress
 version requirements are satisfied.
 if ( in_array( $type, array( 'plugin', 'theme' ), true ) ) {
         if ( ! empty( $item->requires_php ) && version_compare(
 PHP_VERSION, $item->requires_php, '<' ) ) {
                 return false;
         }

         if ( ! empty( $item->requires ) && is_wp_version_compatible(
 $item->requires ) ) {
                 return false;
         }
 }
 }}}

 We had this case from on of your plugin users that the auto update was
 executed but the minimum required WordPress version did not match.

 Or is there a specific reason why this is not already implemented?
