Is it necessary to reset all raft msg channels when a member gives away its leadership ?

[sumithreddy]

I am having issues with when a member trying to process MsgProp when it just gave away its leadership.
raft.step hangs forever trying to process MsgProp since I don't use a context with timeout and the candidates don't process MsgProp from my understanding.

Is it okay to just drop the MsgProp msg (with a time out context) and advance to processing remaining messages ?
or
Reset all the msg channels when someone gives away leadership ?
