I am using the javascript SDK version 6.1, and when I calling `updateByQuery` method, it is strange that it do return a success result with `version_conflicts: 1` field, but do not update my data. and the 2nd time running the same method with same param, it will return a success result with `version_conflicts: 0` success result, and update as expected.  
I have set { conflicts: 'proceed', refresh: true } but seems not work, anyone
