Comment:

 Suspected Cause that may be:
 A new post may be getting created on save due to wp_insert_post() being
 used without passing the ID. This causes footnotes to be saved under a new
 post, while the editor loads the old one.

 To Investigate it you must do:-
 > Ensure wp_insert_post() is updating, not inserting:
 >>   wp_insert_post(['ID' => $post_id, ...])

 Make sure update_post_meta($post_id, 'footnotes', ...) uses the correct
 ID.

 Check for plugins or code that might duplicate the post (e.g., ACF,
 revisions, autosave logic, custom save handlers).
