I had the same issue
for some reason I have 2 youtube-dl with different versions

$ whereis youtube-dl
youtube-dl: /usr/local/bin/youtube-dl /home/(USER)/.local/bin/youtube-dl

$ /usr/local/bin/youtube-dl --version
2020.09.20

$ /home/(USER)/.local/bin/youtube-dl
2020.03.24

Update via pip3
sudo pip3 install --upgrade youtube-dl

re-login, and now a have only one

$ whereis youtube-dl
youtube-dl: /usr/local/bin/youtube-dl

$ youtube-dl --version
