Description

### Description

Sometimes swiping down on the podcast playing screen doesn't work as the up-next section appears instead and so another swipe down is needed to dismiss the podcast player.

### Step-by-step reproduction instructions

I could not reproduce it consistently but if we switch between up next and podcast player screen a few times as shown in the video, we can notice this issue occasionally.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the podcast playing screen and up-next section, then follow the switching sequence shown in the linked recording on Android 13 with v7.29-rc-2. Reproduce the intermittent gesture behavior and trace the screen transition involved. Done means one downward swipe consistently dismisses the podcast player instead of revealing up-next first.
