Description
Lexical version: 0.11.3
## Steps To Reproduce
1. set up lexical with the CollaborationPlugin
2. in the providerfactory, return a provider with a document that has already loaded
Link to code example: If the bug is unclear I'll make one
## The current behavior
The editor remains empty
## The expected behavior
The editor shows the state of the XmlText
## Details
The plugin normally gets documents that need loading and registers an event listener with observeDeep and applies the incoming transactions to the editor.
The observer is [here](https://github.com/facebook/lexical/blob/a0e7596748626a17f004ce94ad8968dbe4347e18/packages/lexical-react/src/shared/useYjsCollaboration.tsx#L104-L115).
When the YDoc is already in loaded, there are no events and therefore it doesn't apply the changes.
So the YJs initialization should also apply the current state of the document before it attaches the observer.
