Sorry for the long delay.
This is the documented behaviour of revert-without-query.
If the file name matches one of these regular expressions,
then `revert-buffer' reverts the file without querying
if the file has changed on disk and you have not edited the buffer.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
You could use
M-: (revert-buffer nil t)
(or a wrapper for that) if you really don't want to be asked, ever.
