Describe the Bug

When trying to access the versions of a document that contains a blocks field, and one of the blocks includes a tabs field, the following error occurs:

Error: No client field found for pages._index-0-0-0

This seems related to deep nesting inside blocks → tabs → fields, as referenced in #11458, but it's still reproducible with additional depth.

Reproduction Steps

1. Create a collection with a blocks field
2. Define a block that includes a tabs field
3. Inside one of the tabs, add any regular field (e.g. text)
4. Create a document using that block and fill in the inner field
5. Try to view the document’s version history
6. Payload throws: Error: No client field found for pages._index-0-0-0
