2nd stage of GC has been approved for more than 6 months while employed with the filing employer. But if previous H1b is expired. will that mean an application needs to be made under cap for 2022?

If you mean you have an approved I-140 Petition, you should be eligible for a post-six year H1B extension without the requirement of filing in a new H1B-Cap lottery.
