Tests for schema evolution with Schema Registry are slow (>1 min) on Kafka 8.1.1

[krvikash]

Description:

With latest update of confluent kafka to 8.1.1, The tests that check for schema evolution in TestKafkaWithConfluentSchemaRegistryMinimalFunctionality and TestKafkaProtobufWithSchemaRegistryMinimalFunctionality require more than one minute to consistently retrieve the latest evolved schema and assert query results.

Expected behavior:

• Schema evolution should be reflected in queries with minimal latency
• Tests should complete faster without requiring excessive timeouts
