I'm just guessing, but Teru became a Japanese citizen in August 2021 and most likely had to renounce his Mongolian citizenship at the same time. Since he only just became Yokozuna after the July basho 2021, there might simply not have been enough time to honor him while he was still Mongolian and he was likely no more eligible as soon as he wasn't a Mongolian citizen anymore.
