If that were not the case, he would have only needed 6 "new" nights this year to do so. But basically, out of those 54 rollover nights, 24 were simply discarded as only 30 were needed. Thus, any "new" nights the OP has stayed since the start of this year will rollover into his 2022 calculations (up to 60 nights). If he will be at 113 nights this year after his upcoming stay, he will have 59 nights so far which will rollover into 2022 (113-54=59).
Yeah thanks. You are correct, I confused myself when I added the part applying the formula to OPs example and subtracted the nights needed to achieve status again. So returning to the OPs example:
114 nights as of his next stay
- 54 rollover nights
- 0 nights needed to achieve status in 2021
= 60 nights to rollover to 2022, thereby reaching diamond status in 2022 and starting the whole process over again.

See post 10 below.
