I do not think 422 is correct for issues with response. Usually 4XX errors used to indicate client/request errors. In this case its error or issue with backend. And for client it can consider as internal server error as well. Or we can indicate content related issue. 5XX response would be better. But to be honest i do not have other good suggestion :(
