You can try the "upgrade process" smart service found in Process Management Utilities - it's supposed to update a running process instance to the latest version, though I'd recommend you test it on a small number of instances (and preferably in a lower environment) to ensure it gracefully handles CDT versions first.

This is also a good reason to generally try to design process models that are short-lived - if don't have processes that are active for a long time, then you don't need to worry about updates.

Another important note is that this does not happen if you're using record data types - in that case the variable always uses the latest version of the record type.
