delay in getting updated data while downloading using overpass API

0

I do a query in JOSM to get ways (with different tags) that share a same node.

Then I unglue ways at these nodes and move the one of the new nodes and put it close to the other one. Then I upload changes and delete current data layer.

Now if I download using the same query the previously changed data are retrieved again (unchanged), while if I wait for 1-2 minutes before new download, data is updated.

But using the normal "Download from OSM" dialog I get the updated data, even a few seconds after upload.

Is this normal or I need to do something with my query?

This is normal. Overpass is a secondary service that feeds from minutely diffs, and hence the replication will always take a few minutes.
