That's because the 6.4 client doesn't do the problematic ssh-ed25519
host key algorithm.  You'll probably see  the same thing with the
newer clients if you set HostKeyAlgorithms in the client's ssh_config
like I suggested in my first reply (or remove/rename the ed25519 host
key file on the server, I think that version is before you could set
HostKeyAlgorithms).

usually comes from bad judgement.
