updating... what?
your cmake requires the SDK to be version 2.2.0 or above yet your installed SDK is 1.5.1. update it or downgrade your cmake restriction

looks like you're on windows. skimming through https://www.raspberrypi.com/documentation/microcontrollers/c_sdk.html only yields quick setups for *nix. at this point you have 3 options:

read through the docs thoroughly, i might have missed something.
switch to WSL and use the provided bash script supplied https://www.raspberrypi.com/documentation/microcontrollers/c_sdk.html
download it yourself from https://github.com/raspberrypi/pico-sdk/releases/tag/2.2.0 and build it from source
