Description
To reproduce (I'm using Element X):
1. Block a user
2. Observe that the room list is missing (almost) all latest events and that the ordering is a bit all over the place.
Unblocking said user doesn't fix the room list. The only thing that helps is clearing the cache which is quite disruptive

Research direction
Reproduce the issue in Element X by blocking and then unblocking a user, and observe the room list events and ordering. Investigate why the list remains incomplete or misordered after unblocking; done means the latest events and correct ordering return without clearing the cache.
