Does a withdrawal for excess contribution count towards RMD?

My client qualifies for RMD from his SEP IRA but over contributed to the IRA in 2021.  The excess contribution was distributed in 2022.  Does that distribution satisfy the 2022 RMD?

    Wouldn't think so, as it was not a distribution, but removing funds that didn't belong there in the first place. The reason for RMD's is to start paying tax on funds that have been tax deferred.
