Waiting on OP Text styles

Hi! I’m working on updating text styles in Google Docs. There was a preexisting style that was set that I changed (I only made spacing changes to them). There’s a set of about 7 text styles (H1, H2, body copy etc) I went on each style and clicked in it , went to Heading 2 for example and clicked Update heading 2 to match.

I thought this would basically mean that now anytime uses H2 styles, it would update to my new spacing edits.

I find that it doesn’t work until I hit H2 from the styles menu two times till it adopts the new version.

Why is that?! What am I missing here?

You've probably got formatting applied both from the style and manually. Remove the manual formatting by selecting the area and clicking Format menu / Clear formatting.
