[JENKINS-60195] Failed to load shared library when pipeline is triggered by hook in different repo

I am using the Pipeline: Shared Groovy Libraries to load a shared library from a repo named jenkins_configuration.

In the pipeline I am loading the library with the usual @​Library('shared-pipeline-library')

and then importing some functions using import.

The pipeline Jenkinsfile is also saved in the same repo with the shared library (jenkins_configuration)

The pipeline is checking out code from a 2nd repo (named myservice) that contains the actual sources to be built (docker images)

When I am building manually (clicking on the build button) the library is loaded correctly and its content is available in the pipeline.

I am creating a hook in the myservice repo so as to trigger the build of the pipeline whenever a change is made in the source code.

I have selected "Poll SCM" with no schedule inside the Job.

When the pipeline is triggered by the hook it fails to load the shared library.

The problem is that Jenkins tries to fetch the library from the jenkins_configuration repo using the git change id sent by Bitbucket that actually refers to the myservice repo.
