IIRC, there is a constitutional safeguard concerning any amendment affecting the presidency: were the 22nd to be repealed, the lifting of term limits would not apply to the presidential incumbent at the time of its repeal, but only to his successor(s).

Any such safeguard would have to be part of the new amendment itself.
