That means there aren't enough overlay slots left for that overlay to
show up.
You can either remove some registered handlers manually by messing in
the registry, or have all Tortoise clients not load other overlay
handlers and by that load the 'needs-lock' one instead.

Create one or more of these registry keys
HKCU\Software\TortoiseOverlays\ShowIgnoredOverlay
HKCU\Software\TortoiseOverlays\ShowUnversionedOverlay
HKCU\Software\TortoiseOverlays\ShowAddedOverlay
HKCU\Software\TortoiseOverlays\ShowLockedOverlay
HKCU\Software\TortoiseOverlays\ShowReadOnlyOverlay
HKCU\Software\TortoiseOverlays\ShowDeletedOverlay
as DWORD values and set those to zero which you don't need or can live
without.
(btw: the 'ShowReadOnlyOverlay' one is the one which shows the
'needs-lock' overlay).

You need to restart for the changes to take effect.
