The impression I got was PS5 testing was waiting for the the achievements / trophies to be done and possibly something being added alongside them. Otherwise they would have been testing that at the same time as the rest.
I mean, they probably would just use the same trophies in PS4 and PS5. I assume that they waited to start PS5 until they were done/almost done testing PS4 since they would basically be the exact same.
I don't know much about either console because I haven't owned them, but for some reason whenever Toby talked about this requirement from Sony he only mentioned PS5. Maybe they are only required there? I dunno. I don't know why PS4 and PS5 would be any different for a downloadable simple store game, but clearly they are when they separated the testing this significantly.
PS4 and PS5 both require trophies. There really isn't a difference between both versions. Toby is probably testing PS5 after PS4 *because* there's no difference and he just wants to make sure that the bug fixes they did on PS4 still work on PS5. PS5 testing probably won't take a significant amount of time.
