Hmm, I think it works fine on my forum.

For testing, I used a topic that was created about a year ago in a private category. I used the admin wrench to set a timer for publishing.

Once the topic was published, the timestamp was updated, and it appeared at the top of /latest.

Do you notice anything that you do differently?

To fix the topic you published, you can try to manually change the timestamp or use the timer to trigger an automatic bump.
