Is anyone else seeing Fixlet ID 405689807 (MS18-JAN: Security Only Quality Update - Security Only - Windows Server 2012 R2 - KB4056898 (x64) (V2.0)) showing relevant for endpoints that have also installed the Monthly Quality Rollup for either January or February?

All of my 2012 R2 servers are relevant for KB4056898 even after installing either KB4056895 (MS18-JAN monthly rollup) and/or KB4074594 (MS18-FEB monthly quality rollup).

I don’t recall this behaviour being similar from previous months, and Fixlet ID 405689807 is a re-release V2, so I’m wondering if there might be a false positive in the fixlet relevance for this one. Not really sure where to begin checking for this, though, as the relevance is rather complex.
