New caches not appearing on mapping

I have noticed over the last 2/3 weeks an anomaly where some caches are not being shown on the main map - usually when a new trail or just a bunch of caches have been published - so you know the cache has been published but when you are on the mapping one just isnt there - it does appear after a day or two or apparently if the CO is aware (not often the case) and they disable the cache then re-enable it this does the trick (though I don't know if that works on each occasion) though it seems on most occasions the course of action has been to get the reviewer to retract and publish again.
Only those in the near vicinity who get notifications may spot this - anyone just searching the area via mapping will miss these until they eventually appear on the map with the rest 

An example - today I got notification of a cache (one of 3 by the same CO) two could be seen on the main map but one could not. No matter how much refreshing and checking of filters it wouldn't appear. 
The first image shows the main mapping - the second is the map as seen on the cache page (just to show it has been published) - Anyone just looking at caches in the area via mapping will not see this 
Unless the CO is aware they are not in a position to check with the reviewer - but why is this happening and can it be rectified ?

I have noticed this several times, and no amount of refreshing will bring the cache  to the map screen.

Yes, it seems the course of action is for reviewr to retract and republish 
It is odd, however, that on the few occasions I have seen it, it has only been one cache that has this issue in among half a dozen and up to 35 caches published at the same time (trails or the like)

This happened to me again tonight after I logged a geocache. It disappeared from the map. No refreshing would help. After I logged out then back in the geocache showed back up on the map.

After logging out then back in:

Yep, me too... android as well.

 

New geocaches often don't show up on the map, and often geocaches that I've found dissappear (even when hide found caches is off).

I checked everything! I wondered if my husband accidentally put it on the ignore list? I checked everything I could think of. I could see some of my finds on the map but that one I just found was just gone. Only logging off and back on put that geocache back on the map.
