SO, I should install the Minecraft server on the latest version, right?

Cuz according to this page https://wiki.geysermc.org/geyser/faq/#:~:text=What%20server%20versions%20does%20Geyser,or%20the%20standalone%20build%20instead.
It's flexible for me to set up geysermc server with the help of viaversion

As that page said - Geyser requires Java 17 to run. This isn't your Minecraft version - those are separate.
You'd have to ask your server hosting provider if it's possible to run a 1.16.5 server with Java 17.

To find out how to change your Java version on hosts or other platforms, look at https://docs.papermc.io/java-install-update

If you’re running a version of Paper that does not support Java 17 or later, you can add the flag -DPaper.IgnoreJavaVersion=true to your startup Java arguments to allow Paper to run on Java 17.
