Found an 'Invalid payload' Error when decrypting using Laravel decryptSting function

When I am decrypting this value I am getting below error (This data is received from another service. So we have to decrypt it and store in our db)

$data - 'UeJOR76YHezWdjl6hxVV7Q=='

APP_KEY - [32 character key]

In config/app.php

'cipher' => 'AES-256-CBC'

Laravel version - Laravel Framework 5.6.39

In Encrypter.php line 191:

  [Illuminate\Contracts\Encryption\DecryptException]
  The payload is invalid.

Below is the laravel code I used to decrypt

#decrypted = Crypt::decryptString( $data );

I know laravel Crypt uses AES256 encryption algorithm. Is there any wrong with data here ? is this data is not compatible to AES256 algo?
