I figured it out. Here is the solution if someone is interested:
It was not so hard when I understood the process. I use a regular foreach to loop through the objects, and put the results in an array. Then I assign the array to the repeaterfield and the correct post. No need for super clunky $name_keys and separate update_sub_fields.

$repeater  = 'field_61e1ea4738085'; // the field name of the repeater field
		$repeaterObjects = $values['field_61e1ea4738085']; //getting the values from the $_POST['acf'] array

		// loop through the rows
		//size=f repeaterobject returns 2 which is fine
		foreach($repeaterObjects as $obj) {
			// building the field names of the repeater fields for the database
				
			$breeder_data [] =
				[
					'breeder_owner_name' => $obj['field_61e1ea5c38086'],
					'breeder_owner_address' =>  $obj['field_61e1ea6738087'],
					'breeder_owner_postal_address' => $obj['field_61e1ea7a38088'],
					'breeder_owner_email' => $obj['field_61e1ea8e38089'],
					'breeder_owner_phone' =>  $obj['field_61e1eaa13808a'],
					];
		
		}
		update_field( $repeater, $breeder_data, $id);
