I think Yeti2022 is just the name for one instance of the global CT log? Nick Lamb could probably say more about this; I understand CT mostly in the abstract, and as the total feed of CT records you surveil for stuff.

Yeti is one of the CT logs (and Yeti2022 the 2022 shard of it, containing certs that expire in 2022). CT logs are independent of each other, there is not really a "global log", although the monitoring/search sites aggregate the data from all logs. Each certificate is added to multiple logs, so the loss of one doesn't cause a problem for the certs in it. (Maybe it's also possible to still trust Yeti2022 for the parts of the log that are well-formed, which would decrease the number of impacted certs even more, not familiar enough with the implementations for that)
