Description
Expected behavior
With the refreshed page list layout, I expect the featured image for a page to appear as a thumbnail in the page list.
Actual behavior
On a self-hosted site not using Jetpack, I can see the thumbnail briefly while it's being uploaded to the server, but then it disappears entirely.
Steps to reproduce the behavior
- Select a self-hosted site (no Jetpack) and open its Site Pages section.
- Create or edit a page.
- Add a featured image to the page.
- Publish your page.
- In the pages list, you may catch the featured image appearing briefly in the pages list. Wait for the upload to finish and note that the image disappears.
- Pull to refresh the page list; note that the thumbnail never reappears.
Tested on [moto e5 play], Android [8.1.0], WPAndroid alpha-150

Research direction
Start in the Android Site Pages entry point and reproduce the issue on a self-hosted site without Jetpack, following the featured-image thumbnail from upload completion through a refreshed list. Done means the thumbnail remains visible after the upload finishes and still appears after pulling to refresh.
