Fix small bugs in geometry DB payload scripts -- Backport of #32361

[cvuosalo]

Several recent PRs inadvertently caused problems for the scripts that create and check geometry DB payloads. This PR fixes those problems.

PR validation:

These scripts are run by experts to create and check geometry DB payloads. They are not used in workflows. These changes were tested during the creation of new payloads.

This PR is a backport of #32361 from 11_3. It is needed because the GEM group has requested new geometry DB payloads for 11_2.
