To reconnect your Mac with the server after receiving this error, press Sync to proceed with downloading the server data if the server is more up-to-date, or Cancel if you don’t wish to replace your database. Once in a blue moon this message can appear even if you’ve been syncing regularly - often if something changes with your sync settings, or if you undergo a major OS upgrade. To prevent this message from occurring in the future, you’ll want to ensure that each of your devices is syncing consistently. If one client in your sync list doesn’t sync for an extended period of time (21 days or more), eventually it will become incompatible with the sync database - meaning, there’s too much of a difference between the device database (in this example, the device where you’re seeing the message) and the sync database for OmniFocus to automatically compare and consolidate the differences. When one client gets out of date, all the others have to hold onto all intermediate changes until the left-behind client syncs again. Before compacting those changes, OmniFocus waits to make sure that all other devices connected to the same sync account has seen them (this is why it’s important to sync all your devices regularly).

To reconnect with the server, you’ll need to either replace the local with the server’s database (this will almost always be the preferable option) or overwrite the server and your other synced devices with the data from this device getting the error. When this error occurs, it’s best to reconnect your OmniFocus with the sync database as soon as possible. Sync errors like these usually appear when once device hasn’t synced with the server for at least 21 days. Why did I get a message asking to “Replace your database and start syncing”?
