Description
Describe your environment
- Python 3.9.2
opentelemetry-api == 1.9.1
Steps to reproduce
from opentelemetry import baggage, trace
tracer = trace.get_tracer(__name__)
global_ctx = baggage.set_baggage("context", "global")
with tracer.start_as_current_span(name="root span") as root_span:
parent_ctx = baggage.set_baggage("context", "parent")
with tracer.start_as_current_span(
name="child span", context=parent_ctx
) as child_span:
child_ctx = baggage.set_baggage("context", "child")
print(baggage.get_all())
print(baggage.get_all())
print(baggage.get_all())
print(baggage.get_all(global_ctx))
print(baggage.get_all(parent_ctx))
print(baggage.get_all(child_ctx))
What is the expected behavior?
{'context': 'child'}
{'context': 'parent'}
{'context': 'global'}
{'context': 'global'}
{'context': 'parent'}
{'context': 'child'}
What is the actual behavior?

Research direction
Start by running the Python reproduction from the issue with opentelemetry-api 1.9.1 and inspect the baggage.get_all() behavior inside nested current spans. Compare those results with the explicit global_ctx, parent_ctx, and child_ctx calls. Done means the implicit calls return child, parent, and global baggage in the shown order while the explicit-context results remain correct.
