Target SDK does not affect app delivery, just min/max SDK, so that's a red herring.

The short answer: at the moment 20% of your users will get version 2, 80% version 1. When you finally increase rollout to 100%, version 1 will be automatically fully deactived.

The longer answer: In more complicated situations app targeting comes into play. This does not apply in the situation in your question. Suppose version 1 was minSdk 22 and version 2 was minSsk 25. Each user would be randomly put in a group "rollout" or "old" in the ration 20:80. If they are in the group "old" they will get version 1. If they are in the group "rollout" then their Sdk would be checked. If it was >25 they would get "rollout". Otherwise they would fallback and get "old". When rollout reaches 100%, users with SDK <25 would no longer be served anything.
