Some exclusions are not considered in the latest version

[AndreeaCristinaRadacina]

Description

A user reported that after the latest update, the exclusions are no longer working as expected. He has some exclusions set in the Post Format tab and in the queue, he can see posts with tags that are excluded.

I was able to replicate this on my live website under some specific scenarios, but not on a fresh instance. I can share the credentials with you if needed.

Step-by-step reproduction instructions

1. Go to a post and add a tag
2. Go to ROP > Post Format
3. Under Taxonomy, add the newly created tag and enable Exclude
4. Save the settings and go to the Sharing Queue

@AndreeaCristinaRadacina,

Thanks for reporting it. If the issue doesn't happen on a fresh instance, can you try to remove tags and add them again? Or just re-save the settings? Maybe it needs the refresh only to work.

@vytisbulkevicius, it seems to be working for me now. However, in his case, no exclusion was applied. I created new exclusions on his website: songwriter and writer, but those were not applied.
