Hey Jeff,
Take a look at this and see if this helps https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Topic:Uf63mplrzzuxz0it
$wgDBmwschema may need to be removed from or corrected in LocalSettings.php
It's also mentioned here : https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_1.31#Configuration_changes
- $wgDBmwschema https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Manual:$wgDBmwschema now affects all database types. Old MediaWiki versions were setting this to 'mediawiki' during the installer, which may cause errors during the upgrade when your database is not PostgreSQL or MSSQL. In that case, remove this setting from LocalSettings.php.

I only run one wiki, and the database has been "wikidb" since I first installed it years ago. The definition of $wgDBname appears only once in LocalSettings.php.
When I upgrade I always extract the tarball into a pristine new folder, then copy over LocalSettings.php and my one extension. I use symlinks to point to a common external image folder (which has worked better for me than copying the image folder back and forth all the time) and for the site's definition in Apache (i.e., Apache points to the symlink "wiki", which then points to the currently active MediaWiki code base). When I run update.php, I always use the raw path rather than the symlink so I know I'm pointing to the right code.
My guess is that update.php or some script it depends on isn't honoring $wgDBname. That said, I can't believe I'm the only person who's using a custom DB name and thus the only person who is having this problem.

This may sound stupid, but are you sure that you are mapping the update script to the correct "LocalSettings.php" file? Perhaps you moved around folders at some time. Another thing may be that you have the parameter twice in your "LocalSettings.php" file and that one value overrides the other. Apart from that, I do not know what could be the issue.
Cheers

I have explicitly set in LocalSettings.php to "wikidb":
$wgDBname = "wikidb";
