Description

### Steps to reproduce

1. In a room with multiple pinned messages, open the pinned panel
2. Room settings need to have encryption enabled:

3. Pick any pinned messages apart from the top one and click on "view message" repeatedly

### What happened?

#### What did you expect?
To go to the same message every time the link is clicked

#### What happened?
Sometimes it takes me to the message, sometimes to another point in the timeline. I have screenshots and can share the room for reproducing the issue, but they both contain private content so please reach out to me.

Germain and I believe the issue is with encryption rather than pinned messages or timeline. This bug is probably exposed by #19231

S-Major because I can't access the room history at all. Occasional because it requires encryption to be enabled.
