Differing versions of deadline client and repository

Hello,
Due to a possible bug fix with Catalina and DeadlineCommand10 I am interested in upgrading my Client Deadline Version but keeping the Repository the same (10.1.0.11).

I’d like to upgrade only the Client software to 10.1.12.1.
Can I run a newer version of the Client software than the Repository? I cannot upgrade both due to being in the peak of production and quantity of client machines in use.

Thanks for any input on this.
As a side note the issue is I cannot get deadlinecommand10 (osx) to access the database (though monitor has no issue). I ran a test vm with OSX Mojave and it installed and ran properly so it seems to be a OSX Catalina issue.
