Content analysis only working when ACF block is in edit mode when block registered via JSON

Please give us a description of what happened.

After registering an ACF block via JSON using the default preview mode, the block content is only analyzed when the block is in edit mode. When switching back to the preview mode, the block content is no longer analyzed and the Yoast analysis reverts back to previous numbers as if the block didn't exist.

JSON block example:

{
		"name": "acf/hero",
		"title": "Hero",
		"acf": {
				"mode": "preview",
				"renderTemplate": "hero.php"
		}
}

Please describe what you expected to happen and why.

I would expect the content to be analyzed on page load and regardless of switching between block modes.

How can we reproduce this behavior?

1. Register ACF block via json with default preview mode
2. Switch between block modes in block editor
