Puthujjana asked: “Does “upasampannassa” related to “upasampada”?”

No. They are different. But that could be the confusion in those translations.

“Upasamapadā” is a “higher state” (not a magga phala, but given with seniority and other mundane qualifications) to bhikkhus.
– When one becomes a bhikkhu first level is “Sāmanera”, and then “upasampadā”.
