Unity Google Play Services Plugin API is not sync with Show Leaderboard UI function?

Question

I use Google Play Games Services Unity Plugin to build an Android game as described in: https://github.com/playgameservices/play-games-plugin-for-unity

The problem:

When I load scores using the API (Social API or PlayGamesPlatform.Instance object of the google play plugin), I get out of date scores. But, when I use ShowLeaderBoardUI() function instead, the scores are correct in the GUI.

So there is no problem in posting the scores.

I use the following snippet to load user scores from the Google Play Game Services ScoreBoard:

void LoadUsersAndDisplay(int leaderBoardID,ILeaderboard lb,LeaderBoardEntry[] resultingEntries)
    {
        // get the user ids
        List<string> userIds = new List<string>();

        foreach(IScore score in lb.scores) {
            userIds.Add(score.userID);
        }
        // load the profiles and display (or in this case, log)
        PlayGamesPlatform.Instance.LoadUsers(userIds.ToArray(), (users) =>
            {
                string status = "Leaderboard loading: " + lb.title + " count = " +
                    lb.scores.Length;
                int currentUserIndex = 0;
                foreach(IScore score in lb.scores) {
                    IUserProfile user = users[currentUserIndex];


                    status += "\n" + score.formattedValue + " by " +
                        (string)(
                            (user != null) ? user.userName : "**unk_" + score.userID + "**");

                    resultingEntries[currentUserIndex] = new LeaderBoardEntry(score.rank,user.userName,score.value);
                    currentUserIndex++; 
                }

                // Get the local user score
                LeaderBoardEntry localUserEntry = new LeaderBoardEntry(lb.localUserScore.rank, Social.localUser.userName,lb.localUserScore.value);

                // Notify the observers about the receiving of the scores
                foreach (LeaderBoardObserver currentObserver in observers) {
                    Debug.Log ("Notifying the leaderboard observer");
                    currentObserver.OnScoresReceived (leaderBoardID,resultingEntries,localUserEntry);
                }

                Debug.Log(status);
            });
    }


public void getScores(int lbID){

        ILeaderboard lb = PlayGamesPlatform.Instance.CreateLeaderboard();
        lb.id = leaderboards [lbID].lbOfficialID;
        lb.timeScope = TimeScope.AllTime;
        lb.userScope = UserScope.Global;
        LeaderBoardEntry[] resultingEntries = null;

        lb.LoadScores(ok =>
            {
                if (ok) {
                    resultingEntries = new LeaderBoardEntry[lb.scores.Length];
                    LoadUsersAndDisplay(lbID,lb,resultingEntries);
                }
                else {
                    Debug.Log("Error retrieving leaderboardi");
                }
            });


        Debug.Log ("Have " + observers.Count + " lbObservers");
    }

I have the following output when I print the received leaderboard:

>>Leaderboard loading: Quick Reaction Mode World Ranking count = 1
>>I/Unity   (16088): 45 by firatercis

But when I display all times scores for global users, I have the following screenshot:

First, the scoreboard was empty, I scored 45 points. I saw the 45 point in both sides there was no problem. Then I scored 50. But the result I achieved by the API never never updates.

I deleted and re-installed the game, nope. I cleaned the cache of the application, and there shouldn't be any copy of the number 45 anywhere, but I constantly get 45 points by using the API. Please help, where may I be wrong?

I solved this problem by change LeaderboardManager.LoadLeaderboardData() to use Types.DataSource.NETWORK_ONLY vs. CACHE_OR_NETWORK.
