 See https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/69867 (The author closed
 the issue, but I believe this is a valid bug that needs to be addressed.)

 Steps to Reproduce

 1. Create some regular posts and some sticky posts.
 2. Add a Query Loop block to a page.
 3. Visit the frontend of the page and navigate through different pages in
 the loop.
 4. Observe that sticky posts appear at the top of every page.

 Comment from the GB issue

 > Sticky posts should be limited to the first page, or placed according to
 their natural order in the post listing. This is the standard and expected
 behavior from a user perspective. Repeating them on every page has no
 added value and negatively affects content discovery.
 >
 > Why it matters:
 >
 > Reduces content visibility: Newer/non-sticky posts are pushed further
 down on each page.

 >Hurts usability: Users must scroll past the same content multiple times.
 >Wastes space: The repeated sticky content adds no benefit beyond page 1.
