I am planning to do an apps update submission.
However, the new apps update need some data patching on server. I am unable to patch the data immediately, because the existing users with old apps will be facing issues with the new data.
Any idea how to resolve this issue?

You need to maintain the old data almost indefinitely.
Plenty of users will not update their apps (no matter how much you want them to. ) for a large variety of reasons.
So for this time around you should move the new data to a different location (and reflect that new location in your app.) to ensure that old users maintain a connection to the old data and new users can use new data.
In the future it might be prudent to have your app stop to function when a new dataset and application is published and harass the user to update.
