The format 22 is for 720p videos (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/YouTube#Quality_and_codecs), since that video doesn't have this resolution (you can run youtube-dl 'https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GEonqCmOYts' -F to see the formats), it can't download it. We may modify it to fallback to other format if it can't be found (requested in #1005).
By the way, if you just want to download the best quality available you just need to run youtube-dl 'https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GEonqCmOYts', it's the default behaviour.
