If the payment was sent to an email address that is not registered then the sender can cancel it from the transaction details otherwise, if the transaction remains unclaimed for 30 days, it will be returned to the sender.

I have similar...and I noticed the email address is wrong.  Is there a way to "edit" or does it have to be cancelled and re-issued?

You have cancel and re-issue.   There's no features or options to change an address after it has been sent.
