Refrehing the Django model after save and 5 second sleep get me old state, what's wrong?

I was able to save the data to a Django model without any errors, but data not reflected in db. But after a sleep time I was able to save the data again with same method. What might be causing this ?

I suspect use of the Google API, but was able to print the data before performing the save operation.

def update_channel():
    client = Client.objects.get(name="name")
    print(f"Existing channel: {data['id']}")             # 123

    # fetch channel data from google api
    data = google_drive.subscribe_new_channel()

    client.channel_id = data["id"]
    client.channel_resource_id = data["resourceId"]
    client.save()

    client.refresh_from_db()
    print(f"New channel: {data['id']}")                  # 456 
    print(f"New channel in db: {client.channel_id}")     # 456

    time.sleep(5)
    client.refresh_from_db()                         
    print(f"channel in db: {client.channel_id}") # 123

Sample Output:

Existing channel: 123
New channel: 456
New channel in db: 456 
channel in db: 123
