no-invalid-media-type-examples | not working as expected

Describe the bug

i've looked at the OAS schema and it uses either a ref or example object. We are using an example schema in our definition but the external file is not a valid example per the linter. I can't share the full schema for a repo of the issue but my external schema file is matching the expected response body schema, is there any reason why the linter says it should be type object? my external document is a valid uri

$ redocly lint --config ~/repos/.redocly.yaml openapi.json --format stylish

openapi.json:
  101:22  warning  no-invalid-media-type-examples  Example value must conform to the schema: type must be object.
