What is the best way to detect a change in server ownership when the bot happens to be offline?

Hi, I am using Discord.JS and am trying to figure out how I might change a server in my database's owner_id field when the owner id is found to be different. Here is an example:

 // ClientReady.ts

try {
            // Get database servers (my api)
            const databaseServersResponse: Response = await ApiHandler.get(`http://api:${EnvHandler.get("API_PORT")}/servers`);
            const databaseServers: Server[] = (await databaseServersResponse.json() as APIResponse).data?.servers;

            // Get servers bot is in (discord.js)
            const botServers: Record<string, any>[] = await ShardingHandler.getAllGuilds(botClient);
            const botServerIds: string[] = botServers.map((server: Record<string, any>) => server.id); 

            // Get servers bot is not in
            const notFoundServers: Server[] = databaseServers.filter((server: Server) => !botServerIds.includes(server.id));

            for (const foundServer of botServers) {
                await ApiHandler.patch(`http://api:${EnvHandler.get("API_PORT")}/users/${foundServer.ownerId}/servers/${foundServer.id}`, { has_bot: true });
            }


// Here is where I am struggling. I don't think I can get the new owner id, because the bot is not in the guild.
            for (const notFoundServer of notFoundServers) {
                await ApiHandler.patch(`http://api:${EnvHandler.get("API_PORT")}/users/${notFoundServer.owner_id}/servers/${notFoundServer.id}`, { has_bot: false });
            }

            console.log("Successfully initizalied the bot and updated all necessary data.");

 // ClientReady.ts

try {
            // Get database servers (my api)
            const databaseServersResponse: Response = await ApiHandler.get(`http://api:${EnvHandler.get("API_PORT")}/servers`);
            const databaseServers: Server[] = (await databaseServersResponse.json() as APIResponse).data?.servers;

            // Get servers bot is in (discord.js)
            const botServers: Record<string, any>[] = await ShardingHandler.getAllGuilds(botClient);
            const botServerIds: string[] = botServers.map((server: Record<string, any>) => server.id); 

            // Get servers bot is not in
            const notFoundServers: Server[] = databaseServers.filter((server: Server) => !botServerIds.includes(server.id));

            for (const foundServer of botServers) {
                await ApiHandler.patch(`http://api:${EnvHandler.get("API_PORT")}/users/${foundServer.ownerId}/servers/${foundServer.id}`, { has_bot: true });
            }


// Here is where I am struggling. I don't think I can get the new owner id, because the bot is not in the guild.
            for (const notFoundServer of notFoundServers) {
                await ApiHandler.patch(`http://api:${EnvHandler.get("API_PORT")}/users/${notFoundServer.owner_id}/servers/${notFoundServer.id}`, { has_bot: false });
            }

            console.log("Successfully initizalied the bot and updated all necessary data.");

If there isn't a way around this to changing the owner_id, what should I do? I'd rather a user who once owned a server (which is added to my database) not have access to it if they are no longer the owner.
