 And it seems the issue can be easily replicated:

 1. Create new post: /test-post
 2. Open this in a browser: https://example.com/wp-json/wp/v2/posts?slug
 =test-post

 At this point, multiple values will get the post slug and ID.

 3. Create another new post: /second-test and make that post sticky

 Visit again https://example.com/wp-json/wp/v2/posts?slug=test-post, and
 this time, many values will get that /second-test slug and ID, where it
 should still show /test-post.

 If you create multiple sticky posts, the https://example.com/wp-
 json/wp/v2/posts?slug=test-post will get the slug and ID from the sticky
 post that has the newest published date.
