Strange results from GetByContentType

07/21/2023, 7:34 AMI've been doing some testing this morning with the method GetByContentType and I'm getting some strange results:
{
"gaitSessions": 44,
"gaitSessionsOther": 44,
"devices": 0,
"devicesOther": 5,
"deviceFamilies": 0,
"deviceFamiliesOther": 9
}
The first result for each document type is using GetByContentType, the second "other" value is from GetByXPath
Some document types are returning no results, when clearly they do exist (as XPath works)
The only difference between the document types are:
GaitSessions are single language
DeviceFamily is setup for multiple languages
Devices are a child of DeviceFamily but setup for single language
Example code:
using var ctx = _umbracoContextFactory.EnsureUmbracoContext();
var content = ctx.UmbracoContext.Content;
var gaitSessionContentType = GaitSession.GetModelContentType(_publishedSnapshotAccessor);
var gaitSessions = content?.GetByContentType(gaitSessionContentType);
var gaitSessionsOther = content?.GetByXPath($"//{GaitSession.ModelTypeAlias}");
