A change of a GPO starts a sync across the domain controllers in your environment.  This is expected behavior, and if you monitor your environment for AD GPO changes, you may be notified of such changes. Undoing the **Contain user** action reverts the GPO changes to their previous state, which will then start another AD GPO synchronization in your environment.
