Yes you can log ship to a higher version.
I have a 2019 SQL database which is the primary, I want to set up a secondary server using logshipping. What is the highest version on SQL server I can install. Upgrading the primary is not an option.

The supplier has a transactional database that is on a SQL 2019 server. They provide us a reporting copy using logshipping. We would like to install the latest possible version of SQL server that would be compatible.
Will be able to get away with a SQL 2022 server.
