Mw.col.update_note() undoes its own changes

I’m running into a strange issue where my addon performs the change and then it automatically undoes the change. So the field will change and change back. The only way to see the change is do Edit → Undo Update Note

def button_pressed(self):
    global batch
    batch = False

    note = self.note
    notetype = self.note.note_type()['name']
    get_config_note(notetype)

    for k, v in field_names.items():
        text_field = k
        audio_field = v

        term = process_text(note[text_field])

        # Download the audio and update the audio field
        result = get_forvo_results(term)
        # Only update the card if we actually found audio
        if result:
            if result.count(separator) < len(term) - 1 and not note.hasTag(tag_missing):
                note.addTag(tag_missing)
            if add_tag:
                note.addTag(add_tag)
            note[audio_field] = result
            mw.col.update_note(note)
            showInfo("Card Updated.")

    return

Ok, I figured it out. It turns out that I needed to use self.loadNoteKeepingFocus() to display the changes.
