Bug details

Describe the bug

when executing minion state it's failing:

/home/vveliev# salt-call state.sls salt.minion
[INFO    ] Loading fresh modules for state activity
[ERROR   ] Rendering exception occurred
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/salt/utils/templates.py", line 502, in render_jinja_tmpl
    output = template.render(**decoded_context)
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/jinja2/environment.py", line 1090, in render
    self.environment.handle_exception()
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/jinja2/environment.py", line 832, in handle_exception

    raise value.with_traceback(tb)
  File "<template>", line 74, in top-level template code
jinja2.exceptions.UndefinedError: 'dict object' has no attribute 'version'

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/salt/utils/templates.py", line 261, in render_tmpl
    output = render_str(tmplstr, context, tmplpath)
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/salt/utils/templates.py", line 509, in render_jinja_tmpl
    raise SaltRenderError("Jinja variable {}{}".format(exc, out), buf=tmplstr)
salt.exceptions.SaltRenderError: Jinja variable 'dict object' has no attribute 'version'
[CRITICAL] Rendering SLS 'feat/salt-test:salt.minion' failed: Jinja variable 'dict object' has no attribute 'version'

Steps to reproduce the bug

run salt-call state.sls salt.minion without setting version

Expected behaviour

expecting for miniuon to be configured just as state.sls salt.master

Attempts to fix the bug

Additional context

after checking sls files, it looks like master and minion do have different code for figuring out version where master actually checks if version is defined or not before attempting to use it
