Description
When adding/updating vanilla Gutenberg blocks, the blocks are not updated when previewing the page. I have to update the page to see the Gutenberg changes reflected. This only occurs when a page is already published. Pages set to Draft appear to work as expected.
I am currently using an ACF Group field which is set as a meta box (not as a Gutenberg block) to the front page.
When uninstalling ACF OR removing the ACF meta boxes from the page, preview works as expected when a page is currently published.
Note: Previewing the front-end display of the ACF fields works as expected, it is just vanilla Gutenberg block content that is not updated in preview.

Research direction
Reproduce the issue with ACF installed and a published front page using an ACF Group field as a meta box, then preview changes to a vanilla Gutenberg block. Compare this with a draft page and with ACF or the meta box removed; done means published-page previews show updated Gutenberg content without requiring a page update.
