Description

Version
main branch

Describe the bug
Calling cast() after master returns "Master" model instead of "Detail" model. This is probably not a big deal, since it is not expected that anyone will use such code.

To Reproduce

repo = FileRepository.objects.create(name=str(uuid4()))

repo.master
<Repository (pulp_type=core.repository): pk=01960127-92e3-729e-a68b-d81602c0d198>

repo.master.cast()
<Repository (pulp_type=core.repository): pk=01960127-92e3-729e-a68b-d81602c0d198>

Expected behavior

repo.master.cast()
<FileRepository (pulp_type=file.file): pk=01960127-92e3-729e-a68b-d81602c0d198>

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue with the FileRepository, master, and cast() calls shown in the report. Trace how master and cast() determine the returned model; done means repo.master.cast() returns a FileRepository rather than a Repository.
