Missing CONSUMPTION_REQUEST notification before REFUND notification in App Store Server Notifications

We've observed two refund cases where we only received REFUND notifications without the expected CONSUMPTION_REQUEST notifications. Both cases came from the same user account.

According to documentation, we should first receive CONSUMPTION_REQUEST before any REFUND notification. Has anyone encountered similar selective missing notifications? Could this be user-specific or related to particular refund circumstances?

Environment:

Production environment

Valid server notifications setup (other notifications work fine)

Only these two cases from same user showed this behavior
