Description
### Is this a regression?
- [ ] Yes, this behavior used to work in the previous version
### The previous version in which this bug was not present was
_No response_
### Description
When trying to use Virtual Scrolling with Signals when removing element, it is not removed from the screen. The bug only occurs using `*cdkVirtualFor`. If you use `*ngFor` the element is removed correctly.
### Reproduction
Ex:
HTML:
```
```
TS:
```
export type OrderColumn = { orders: Order[], total: number, page: number };
orderColumn: Signal;
```
### Expected Behavior
I expected that when removing an element from the orderColumn().orders array it would exit the screen.
### Actual Behavior
When removing an element, it continues to be rendered on screen.
### Environment

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue with the provided Angular template using *cdkVirtualFor, Signals, and removal from orderColumn().orders, then compare it with *ngFor. Trace the virtual-scrolling update path and verify that removing an element causes the corresponding rendered item to leave the screen.
