Explanation

When a new URL category is introduced in a content update, Panorama adopts it first. If the managed firewalls are running an older Apps and Threats content version that does not yet include that category, a commit push from Panorama will fail because the firewall does not recognize the category name referenced in the pushed policy. The fix is to update the firewall's Apps and Threats content version to match or exceed the version on Panorama (A), so the firewall can resolve the new category. Changing the action to 'alert' (B) is a workaround that avoids the failure but does not fix the root cause. Firewall-to-URL-cloud communication (C) and the URL seed file (D) relate to URL lookups at runtime, not to content version mismatches during commit.
