Yes, you could make the nondeductible traditional IRA contribution for 2022 and then make the conversion in 2023. Just make sure that no pre-tax funds are left in the traditional IRA by doing the reverse rollover of the pre-tax funds to your 401k. When you convert the rest (your basis) in 2023 then the value should be $0 on December 31, 2023.
