Are these happening regularly?  They indicate that something is
happening on the table that collides with what autovacuum needs to do,
and autovacuum defers its task.  For this to happen you need to be doing
ALTER TABLE or similar however; normal UPDATE/INSERT/DELETE should not
cause autovacuum to cancel itself.

TIP 9: In versions below 8.0, the planner will ignore your desire to
       choose an index scan if your joining column's datatypes do not
       match
