It was always being built [from an admin’s perspective](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/master/app/models/category_featured_topic.rb#L22), even before my changes.

I think I can fix that for anons by adding 3 (or `category_featured_topics` setting) topics that anons can see to the end of the cache. If all others are filtered because of security, at least those will show.
