Checks

• This isn't a question or user support case (For Q&A and community support, go to Discussions).
• I've read the Changelog before submitting this issue and I'm sure it's not due to any recently-introduced backward-incompatible changes

To Reproduce

1. Follow the official guide to deploy `gha-runner-scale-set-controller` and `gha-runner-scale-set` `demo-runner-group`

2. Set up a new cluster (environment) for migration testing, deploy `gha-runner-scale-set-controller` with the same credential.

3. When `demo-runner-group` still have several active runners, uninstall the `gha-runner-scale-set` `demo-runner-group` helm release from the old cluster.

4. Install the same `gha-runner-scale-set` `demo-runner-group` helm release in the new environment.

5. New actions begin to use the newly registered `demo-runner-group`, nothing is wrong here.

6. Wait for the old runners finished building, and the newly registered runner group is suddenly removed from the GitHub runners settings view.
