Description

### Steps to reproduce

1. To deal with https://github.com/vector-im/element-web/issues/24392, I selected "Mark as read".
2. Unread notifications started shooting up, landing in the 60s or 80s, just like in https://github.com/vector-im/element-web/issues/25479

### Outcome

#### What did you expect?

I expected the room to be marked read.

#### What happened instead?

The opposite happened. I got the red/noisy notification that between 60 and 90 direction mentions were in the room after gradually building up to the maximum.

Element version: 1.11.46 Olm version: 3.2.14
