Patching LibreOffice results in removing the old version but NOT installing the new one, "not applicable" - but it is?

One of my users today complained about the disappearance of LibreOffice Calc.

I had launched a series of updates on her machine that included getting LibreOffice to 6.2.8

Several operations followed including the removal of the existing version

I have checked the configuration outcome and it did not apply 6.2.8 as "not applicable".

Except it is applicable, as I manually installed it later.

The user had several applications open, and the installation complained about needing to close Adobe Creative Cloud and Slack first. Once I closed those, it worked correctly.

I am wondering if this is normal behaviour: I would have expected to find a "failed install" of 6.2.8 due to file being in use - not a "not applicable". Maybe it's because Adobe components updates were launched in the same configuration?
