I can confirm the same issue here.

After updating linux-generic to 6.2.0-25 my screen went black because linux-modules-nvidia-535-6.2.0-25-generic does not exist and hence was not installed.

I went back from nvidia-driver-535 to nvidia-driver-525 and now I can safely apply updates to my system; apt will not update automatically nvidia-driver-525 to nvidia-driver-535 but will update linux-generic to newer versions.

Here are the relevant packages:
https://packages.ubuntu.com/lunar-updates/linux-modules-nvidia-525-generic
currently depends on
https://packages.ubuntu.com/lunar-updates/linux-modules-nvidia-525-6.2.0-25-generic
but
https://packages.ubuntu.com/lunar-updates/linux-modules-nvidia-535-generic
currently depends on
https://packages.ubuntu.com/lunar-updates/linux-modules-nvidia-535-6.2.0-24-generic
and
https://packages.ubuntu.com/lunar-updates/linux-modules-nvidia-535-6.2.0-25-generic
does not exist.

So basically the user must choose between a slightly older Linux kernel (6.2.0-24.24) and or a slightly older NVIDIA driver version (525), keeping in mind that apt will automatically install newer versions of linux-generic.

This is a bit unfortunate because the latest NVIDIA driver version 535 brings some improvements with Wayland and removed annoying glitches in one application I use daily, Beyond Compare. I will have to be patient I guess.
